The Supreme Slider

Makes Moving Your Quilt Like Gliding on Ice

Supreme Slider

The Supreme Slider™ is the new and improved version of what was originally called the Free-Motion Slider.

This 11-5/8" x 8" sheet has a 100% Teflon® top which creates zero friction and minimizes the drag on your quilt during free motion quilting.

The manufacturer has added a new self-stick bottom (kind of like the vinyl "Color Forms" you may have had as a child.) No longer do you need to tape and untape the sheet to change your bobbin! Nor does the tape come unstuck. I accidentally sewed through my original Free-Motion Slider (a sad $20 lesson at the time) when the tape came loose. I love the new self-stick bottom layer!


How to Install Your Slider

It's simple.

Supreme Slider

  1. Attach your darning foot or free motion foot to your sewing machine.
  2. Lower your feed dogs.
  3. Position your Slider on the bed of your machine with the oval hole centered just under your needle.

That's it!

If the slider is too big for the bed of your sewing machine, don't worry. Just trim it with scissors. Be sure that no edge(s) of the slider hang loosely over the sides of your machine or sewing table. If they do, that side could be caught by your quilt as you're quilting and pull the sheet from your machine bed.


How to Clean Your Slider

Lint or dirt can interfere with the "clinginess" of your slider.

To maintain the "clingy" side, periodically remove and hold the sheet under running warm water to clean off any lint or dirt that has built up. Lay it flat to air dry.

Then either re-install or store flat in its bag for your next free motion machine quilting session.

If you have had problems moving your quilt sandwich while free motion quilting and none of the following has helped:

  1. Starch your quilt back fabric
  2. Cleaning the bed of your sewing machine
  3. Quilting gloves like Machingers
  4. Neutrogena Hand Cream
  5. Quilt halo...

Then it may just be time for you to try the Supreme Slider!
