SAVE YOUR MONEY - get a different brand if you need a silicone sheet.
Okay, this product is a joke. Well, the product is fine in and of itself, but the PRICE for what you receive is an absolute joke. The sellers should be ashamed of themselves. I admit that I did not see the exact dimensions. I had read about these sheets over a year ago, and have wanted one for a very long time, as I like to free-motion quilt. I had previously noted that they came in regular size and queen size. Silly me - I thought that meant a reasonably sized sheet (regular) versus a really large sheet (queen) that covered a larger area, perhaps your machine base and part of your table. Wow - shocker. When I finally had the money to be able to order one, I nabbed it from the link on my wish list. When I got the package, and I thought there was just no way this could be correct. It was thin as a sheet of paper - I had thought it would be folded, and you'd unfold it and lay it across your sewing machine. People - save your money!! This thing is a THIN little sheet, literally the size of a piece of typing paper. That's it. No unfolding. No real help. There's a hole punched in it to allegedly go over where your particular machine's needle hits. The tiny thin sheet has a tacky side that will supposedly hang on to your machine surface, and the top is silicone to allow the fabric to glide more easily. This might indeed be the case. The item probably is okay, even though many people have said you still need to tape it down to keep it from hanging, or it will tear. Here's the thing - I get it that it is a helpful item. But the PRICE versus what you RECEIVE is a real joke! Sadly, I won't be returning it because (per Amazon) I have to use UPS to return it, and it would cost me an additional $6.95 to return this tiny little piece of slick paper. I can't just use regular postal mail. SAVE YOUR MONEY. There are other brands out there now that will give you a larger sheet for less money. I truly wish I had done my usual research, instead of buying off my own wish list and leaning on rumors. I'm somewhat new to quilting, and have often just bookmarked an item or brand that was recommended by another more experienced sewer. Last time I will do that! Shame on ME. I would think the manufacturers and sellers of this item would hang their heads in shame. Seriously, buy a different brand. I have not felt this ripped off in a very, very long time.
