Sew Steady Free Motion Quilting Slider Mat Grid Marked 12 x 20 with Tacky Back

Bought this when I saw a YouTube video showing how this is to be used. I use this for all my free motion quilting. Love this would definitely buy again.

Very easy to use on my Bernina b570 qe with factory extension table on. Perfect fit. Very good quality mat. Very good quality and value

These mats are really slick, so my quilts move more easily while I'm quilting on my domestic sewing machine. I like the fact that the feed dogs are not covered by the mat (unlike the other brand I had) thus preventing oopsies that destroy the mat. It also allows me the put my feed dogs up when I want to. My big complaint is that my mat has had limited, gentle use and is already developing several little holes. Apparently the material needs to be thicker so it's not so fragile. Also, I'm not sure what good the grid is since it is covered up when quilting.

I was torn over getting the more pricey but better rated supreme slider, or this slider, which has the grid and ruler, and I went with this one because of price and ruler and I am not disappointed. It is a bit longer than I have room under my Pfaff 130, but I didn't cut it because it didn't seem necessary. Sure, it doesn't adhere all the way, but that is not an issue, as under the machine (to the right of the sewing area) I try to limit amount of rolled up quilt sandwich as otherwise it would block the light, so it never got to the point where this imperfect fitment became an issue. I was easily able to align the hole so that I can use the marked lines for any width of seams I am doing, and was also able to extend the lines over the tape I originally used to mark 1/4" for making perfect patchwork seams. And because my sewing machine on an original wooden stand has a hole underneath the work area for a hand to go in to replace bobbin, I never have to take this off, only when I need to clean the bobbin area or oil the machine. Even if it stops being sticky, I think I would still use it by taping it down with masking tape, which would be easy to remove.

The Adhesion appears to be very good, however, I find it to be too thin, just taking it out of the packagingwhen unrolling I found several tears in the material. I do like the size of it, and the grid lines look to be very usefull. Very difficult to get out of tube. Not sure how long it will last .

I bought this for the grid but I have it on a vintage machine to free motion so may not use that feature and because it is bigger than the original Super Slider it has to go over hinges/ bumps on the old tables. But it sticks well and is slippery good, lol, so I love it. I also bought the original SS, so small it’s hard to believe it could be useful, haven’t used it yet but ima give it a whirl to compare. This one is cheaper and good, but is it too big? Idk. I am wondering though, because the slider covers my bobbin plate which I have to change out often when free motion quilting— as on any machine it would I guess—how long will the stick last and what to do about it when it gives out? Guess we’ll see.

Did I miss something?First it does not fit my machine. Opening does not allow me to remove & replace bobbin without removing quilt slider So I cut the hole larger. Edge of mat kept my fabric from moving, and therefore jammed & tangled thread. It may work fine on a Bernina but sure does not work on a Janome 6600. There needs to be more information in the description stating what machines it will likely work on. I love the idea but hate the materials. The stuff it is made out of is too stiff and brittle, and will wind up with creases in it very fast. Also the tube that it fits in is too small so it is very hard roll it back up to get it back in for storage.. I am sending it back . it is not as good as new but I don't want to see it in my house. I would love to have the new and improved version.

This Sew Steady free motion quilt slider works great. The grid helps as needed for small projects. Item shipped quickly and delivered very fast.
