$130.00

Free-motion quilting with less drag

Let your quilt glide across the machine bed

The Gypsy Quilter Queen Size Supreme Slider creates a smooth 11.5 x 17in working surface around the needle. Its white low-friction top helps the quilt move freely, while the pink self-gripping silicone underside holds the slider against a clean, flat machine bed or set-in sewing table.

  • Reduce quilt drag when moving the project in any direction for free-motion stitching.
  • Bridge small ridges and gaps around a machine bed or extension-table join.
  • Reusable tacky back grips without tape and refreshes with warm soapy water.
  • Queen Size coverage provides a generous glide area without becoming difficult to position.

A smoother path beneath the quilt

Less resistance gives your hands more control

Free-motion quilting asks you to guide the fabric sandwich while the needle forms each stitch. The Supreme Slider covers the high-friction surfaces immediately around the needle, so the quilt can move more evenly and your hands can focus on curves, fills and changes of direction.

Move in every direction

The slick white surface supports the forward, backward and sideways movement used for stippling, meandering, outlines and freehand motifs.

Smooth the work area

Covering seams and texture changes between the machine and its surrounding surface helps reduce little catches that interrupt fabric movement.

Lift, clean and reuse

The silicone back grips a clean surface without permanent adhesive. Remove it after quilting, refresh the back when needed and store it rolled.

Two working surfaces, one simple quilting aid

White side up, pink side down

Low-friction Teflon top

The smooth white face sits beneath the quilt and helps it glide around the needle with less drag.

Self-gripping silicone back

The tacky pink underside holds against a clean, dry and fully supported machine bed or sewing surface. No glue is used.

It is tacky, not adhesive: the pink underside is designed to grip by contact. If it begins to feel less secure, clean it with warm soapy water and let it air dry completely.

Official product views make the setup clear

A careful setup takes only a minute

Centre the opening before you begin

The slider must sit flat, with its existing opening precisely aligned to the machine's needle and throat-plate opening. Check the path manually before sewing.

1

Prepare the work area

Switch off the machine and remove the project. Wipe the machine bed or table so it is clean, dry and free from lint or oil.

2

Place the pink side down

Unroll the slider with the smooth white side facing up and the pink silicone side against the work surface.

3

Align the opening

Centre the slider's opening over the needle and throat-plate opening. Make sure no part of the slider sits in the needle path.

4

Press flat and support it

Smooth the slider outward so it grips evenly. The entire working area should be supported, without curled edges or unsupported overhang.

5

Check before stitching

Fit the correct free-motion foot and set the machine as directed in its manual. Turn the handwheel slowly to confirm a clear needle path.

Important: never stitch through the slider. Stop if it shifts, lifts or curls. Realign it before continuing, and do not let an edge hang unsupported where the weight of the quilt could pull it upward.
Will Queen Size suit your setup?

Measure the flat area around your needle

The Queen Size mat measures 11.5 x 17in, or approximately 29.2 x 43.2cm. It is particularly useful with a set-in sewing cabinet, flat extension table or another firm, level surface around a domestic sewing machine.

A good match for...

  • Free-motion quilting on many domestic sewing machines
  • Set-in sewing-machine cabinets
  • Firm, level extension tables
  • Quilters wanting more glide close to the needle
  • Covering minor seams or surface transitions
  • Reusable setup without permanent adhesive

Check before ordering...

  • You have room for an 11.5 x 17in surface
  • The needle opening can align without covering controls or vents
  • The slider can remain fully supported
  • Your bobbin-access arrangement will remain practical
  • Your machine is configured for free-motion work
  • The quilt's remaining weight can be supported separately
Can it be trimmed? Yes, the manufacturer allows the slider to be trimmed with scissors when needed. Measure carefully, retain the existing needle opening in the correct position and keep every edge fully supported. Once cut, it cannot be restored.

Simple care keeps the slider ready to glide

Wipe the white top

Use a clean, soft cloth to remove lint and dust. Keep oil, starch residue and abrasive cleaners away from the glide surface.

Wash the pink back

Rinse with warm soapy water when the grip weakens, then shake off excess water and allow it to air dry completely.

Roll for storage

Return the clean, dry slider to its tube. Rolling protects the working surfaces and avoids permanent folds or creases.

Helpful answers before you order

Queen Size Supreme Slider FAQs

What does the Supreme Slider do?

It creates a low-friction area around the needle so a quilt sandwich can move more freely during free-motion quilting. It helps reduce surface drag but does not replace correct machine setup, a suitable free-motion foot or support for the weight of the quilt.

Which side faces up?

The smooth white Teflon side faces up beneath the quilt. The tacky pink silicone side faces down against a clean, dry and fully supported machine bed or table.

Is the pink back adhesive?

No permanent glue is used. The silicone surface is naturally tacky and self-gripping, so it can be lifted, washed, dried and reused.

Will it fit my sewing machine?

It suits many domestic-machine and table arrangements, but fit is not universal. Measure the flat work area around the needle and check that the existing slider opening can be accurately aligned without covering controls, vents or moving parts.

Can I trim the slider?

Yes. The manufacturer permits trimming with scissors. Plan the position first, preserve the existing needle opening and avoid an unsupported edge that could lift while quilting.

How do I access the bobbin?

Bobbin access varies by machine. You may need to lift and reposition the removable slider when changing the bobbin, then carefully realign the needle opening before sewing again.

What if the pink underside stops gripping?

Lint and dust can reduce contact. Wash the pink side in warm soapy water, rinse it and allow it to air dry completely before returning it to a clean work surface.

Is this the Standard or Queen Size version?

This is the Queen Size TGQ144, measuring 11.5 x 17in. It is larger than the Standard Size Supreme Slider.

Smooth movement starts at the machine bed

Give your quilt a cleaner, easier path

Position the Queen Size Supreme Slider around the needle, support the quilt's weight and enjoy a broad low-friction surface for free-motion curves, fills and creative stitching.
