you neck and shoulders and I also believe a spray does the same job. Has any one used any of these items. Would love to know.

hi mcgraw , i too have used that sewing mat and found it a great advantage less strain on the neck and shoulders having the quilt halo is a great help as well wonder what other great aids there are out there i'm in the aids generation need all the help i can get regards ava

I've been checking this out, and this is the cheapest place I've found, so far. You need to scroll down the page until you get to Supreme Slider. 100% Teflon Free Motion Slider. 8" x 11½". There is also a larger one, but can't remember where I saw it just now.

Thanks a million, this is a great site, will do some spending here. Have you tried the mat, if so what did you think. flower for you.

Absolutely, you pretty much have to have something on the otherside of the machine to carry the weight of your quilt otherwise it will distort everything. I don't know of any mat or spray or anything about not being sore, could you tell me more about this?

HI, this is a thin shiny mat that fits under your needle area and the part that you are quilting slides so much easier so you dont have so much tension on arms and shoulders also if you tilt your machine with a couple of door stoppers towards you it is also easier. flower for you.

i have a folding table and i pull it over and it holds the weight of the quilt but still you get sore and tired!!carolyn

Hi, you still need a table or chair to carry the weight of the quilt but this mat helps with the area you are quilting. flower for you.
