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

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

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.

I liked that this mat was larger than my slider and that it was more adherent. However, it turned out to not be as slick as my Supreme Slider, so in a long run it wasn't worth the money because I can't use it for free motion quilting. On the other hand, I have used it with my smaller machine when I've had to do a lot of chain piecing and it has proved to be valuable for that purpose, keeping the pieces from getting caught in the feeddog cover for example.

I accidentally (negatively) reviewed a product, of similar nature, previously ordered.THIS specific product replaced the inferior product previously ordered. Both the vendor and the product are top notch.For anyone who read my previous review, please know I accidentally mistook (and reviewed) this one thinking it was the one I threw away. This is a great product & I apologize for my error.This product gets five stars!

I really wanted to like this but it’s garbage. It doesn’t work well with drop in bobbin machines. I wish it was more sturdy. It ripped within the first 4 hours of use. Save your money and save yourself from the frustration

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.
