Sewing machine pedal anti-slip mat

This by far is one of my best and most useful works :)

Since I started sewing/learning to sew one of the fundamental problems was my constantly moving sewing pedal - both in hardwood/tiled floors and carpeted floors. It always took a couple seconds for me to locate the pedal after fixing a broken thread or changing the stitch/fabric.

How many times have I had to hunt for my sewing machine pedal while in between a project!?!
So when I saw this tutorial I was THRILLED! Finally respite from the pedal-hunt!

Pinterest offers a wide range of ideas for a variety of daily life problems. A big shout-out to the women & men who post their amazing ideas for free; how extremely generous of them to share it along with detailed pictorial instructions and tutorial videos. :)

I honestly feel this project is a must have for all the women who sew - a sewing machine pedal anti-slip mat. This is the tutorial I followed - https://so-sew-easy.com/non-slip-sewing-machine-foot-pedal-pad/#_a5y_p=3758438

This is how mine turned out -





I used - shelf lining mats from walmart cut to slightly bigger size than my pedal, upcycled bias tape fabric and the cushion stuffing from the cotton batting that was wasted from my sewing machine organizer tutorial.
