Silicone sheet for quilting

A word about music and FME/Q from Mrs. Doc... Hello, Free motion quilting has proven to be a challenge for me. I had lunch with a quilting friend and asked if she had the same issue.

I've bought satisfactory wide backs at both hancocks-paducah.com and keepsake quilting. The former even has wide batiks, if you should ever need them. Another option might be a big sheet, especially if you're machine quilting. (High thread counts = hard to needle.) Wash it first, of course. I could imagine a striped sheet in pastels...
