Sewslip

I saw a new (new for me) product advertised on Facebook, and I went to  Sewslip's website to take a look at it. It looked and sounded like a handy thing to have, if it worked the way they said.  I decided to invest $30+ and give it a try.  It came last Thursday, and today I opened it up and put it on my sewing machine.  I didn't know what to expect exactly, but it fit perfectly, and snuggly too.  There a tacky backing on the sheet, and you can peel it off and re-position it as many times as you want.  In fact, you'll HAVE to re-position it many times in the course of quilting a quilt because the mat covers up the drop-in bobbin case.  To rewind a bobbin, or change bobbin threads, you have to take off the quilt, take off the Sew slip mat, then change the bobbin.  Then put everything back and start sewing again.  It's much more of a hassle  then just lifting up the quilt and pulling out the bobbin.  But hopefully, it'll be worth it.  I did notice today that my stitches were a lot smoother, so that's something positive.

There are so many cool quilting gizmos out there, but this is one that I already like and I'm glad I invested in it.
