Two DIY solutions that I've tried are: 1) a product called Magic Carpet sold by Lakeland (and probably other people as well), and 2) spray silicone from an aerosol. I've used the silicone on its own on the bed of the machine, and have also sprayed it onto the magic carpet. I still find FMQ very difficult
because it plays havoc with my neck and shoulders. I also find it
essential to wear sticky gloves otherwise I haven't got the power in my arms to move the fabric about enough. (Bit of a wimp really
)
