Welcome to Cinderella's Blog
Perhaps a better name would be Journal or News. I chose B.L.O.G.—who knew that “word” would become traditional? The good news is “Quilting” will always be universally recognized no matter what language we translate. We’ll still be searching for creative ways to express quilt art and new locations to shop for essentials. We desire inspirational instructors, exciting fabrics and especially quality THREADS—the glue! Our support network of quilters through satellite groups, guilds, and communities is vibrant (especially here, on Vancouver Island, BC). Join me as I share how-to articles on Threads and techniques, quilting events, profiles on fabric artists, natural things of beauty and general interest to curious and resourceful stitchers! ...Cindy Scraba (Cinderella)

Sew Slip™ Slick for Free-Motion Quilting
27 Mar 2013
*To review a free-motion project Blog in progress using this handy tool click here.
SEW SLIP®
Offers Slippery Free-Motion Sewing Experience
SewSlip® has a non-stick top surface which is bonded to cured silicone. The tacky back (not glue) holds the SewSlip to your machine surface. Remove the protective brown sheet, position the opening under your machine needle, and sew. It's that simple!
SewSlip® eliminates the drag on your free-motion sewing and quilting projects. You don't need to tape SewSlip down. The silicone surface does this for you.
SewSlip® is a generous 12" x 18" with a needle opening precut to fit most sewing machine beds. It can be cut with scissors if needed. Store rolled up with the brown undersheet sheet to keep it clean. SewSlip is completely washable; and according to the company will last a lifetime!
If you haven't tried one of these yet you're in for a surprise! And if you have one in your stash you forgot about--use it! Your free-motion accuracy will increase and it's sewwww much easier ;) This brand is larger than Supreme Slider and boasts better reviews.
