Leave an opening in the cross piece and you can put the elec plug wire through it and that will also keep the pad in place. Nice idea!

I didn't need it, but I am so glad you explained 7/8ths for people who might need it. I think your stuff is great!

I love your videos, because I learn a lot, not only the project but also other techniques that serve multiple projects. thank you very much for sharing your knowledge

I cannot wait to make one of these for my foot pedal. Thank you for the tutorial

I can finally stop looking for my pedal all the time. And I can do it in style! Thanks Vanessa!

It always amazes me that you come up with such fresh ideas every week! I have slippery laminate floor in sewing room-definitely going to give this a try. Thanks!

I am an advanced sewer and truly enjoy your tutorials, I am always looking for tips and tricks, your teaching method is top notch you are easy to listen to and precise. Thank you!

Vanessa, you are so EASY to follow! every one of your demonstrations have been so easy to understand and they all "work" perfectly! I have the feeling that you are a good friend that I have know for a long time! THANK YOU! You're the greatest!

You are so good at explaining things! You make techniques so simple to understand!

Very cute! I am going to make a few for my machines tonight!

Such a useful video! Not just about making a non-slip mat, but bias binding tips as well. Homely advice for non-professional home sewers like me! Thank you.

I HAVE to sew barefoot!! I'm always walking around the house in slippers, but I cannot sew with them.. This is the first time I've heard of anyone else mentioning anyone sewing barefoot!! I thought I was the only one! Lol It just feels "right" 🙂 Thanks for sharing, all your tutorials are GREAT ❤

Just what I needed! Thank you :) I have a roll of that non skid liner just calling to me .

This is amazing, I love how you take you time in explaining each step. Thank you

Hello, this is a fab Idea! 😁 I sit at my high kitchen table & my pedal is on a foot stool 😋 & always falls off the stool 💕 Erica x

This is the first time I've watched your tutorial's and I love them! You are awesome and soooooo easy to follow and understand!

I just love this, totally new to sewing but watching Vanessa makes it so easy. Thanks.

What a wonderful idea - very handy. Love the way that you explain everything clearly. Thank you so much.

I have to tell you that I am 62 years old and I learn so much from you. I have sewn for many many years but am excited to learn some extra fun things from you. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your talent.

I love this idea. I have just been stuff on the floor. This so much nicer. Great for taking to sewing classes with the linoleum. Thanks.

This is a great project! And thanks for the bias tape tips! This will work when joining pieces of quilt binding!

Thanks Vanessa!!!!! I was just getting ready to buy those ready made expensive pads for 5 sewing machines, now I can make these!.....

I love your studio. It's so pretty, orderly and functional! This is a fantastic project.

Oh my god this is actually amazing. My studio floor is linoleum and it goes everywhere.

Thank you for all your tips!!! You are truly a great teacher. Thanks again☺️

I love this! It works great and it was super easy to make! 🥰

What a great idea! I love that you used dollar store non-slip shelf liner to save money. Thanks for the tip on lining up the bias tape for sewing too! Diane in NC

You are an excellent sewing teacher/demonstrator ! Loved your video!!

This is great! I have wood flooring where I sew, so this will be nice to use, and your directions are so clear & concise. Thank you!

Vanessa, thank you! This is so cool and MUCH better than the non-slip I have just laying on the floor. I can see this looking like a flip flop! :) I'll have to figure out how to do it but I'll do it! Thanks!!

You are a great instructor!! Thank you for your talent!

Totally loved this video! I just made one today , works great!♥️

This was my first finished sewing project last year! :D

Thank you for this idea and wonderful tutorial. I am going right now and make one.

I've had a similar project on my list of "to-do's" for over a year, but THIS one is the best I've seen! Can't wait to make this one soon!!

I finally made two!! ( Saw this tutorial years ago... I made 1 smaller one...they work brilliantly, thanks Vanessa!

Great explanation of mitering the bias tape! After 5 years of quilting no-one ever explained this well and I always wondered why it would not match up sometimes. Thanks again Vanessa for an excellent tutorial!!!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have been watching your tutorials for a long time.

I love all your tutorials.

Thank you for that 7/8 inch tip. A lot of people don't explain that to you.

after years working with a roaming foot pedal, I finally made this today It's going to help a lot. Thanks Vanessa!

This is a great idea for when I take my machine to a friend's house. My pedal tends to leave marks so I usually put down some craft paper under it so I don't stain their carpet. Thank you for another great tutorial

Great project! Thank you!

Great idea, I need one for each machine! Great tutorial, thank you!

You are a great teacher.

Your video doing the paper piecing was very easy to follow. Great refresher for those of us who might not do paper piecing often. Thank you and plan on making the heart mug rug. ❣

I have seen you on a sewing machine tutorial, but I didn't know you had a channel. I am sorry. I am subscribed now.

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been needing something like this! ...and I can make it with just scraps from my stash. 😉

I love this idea. I have been looking at sewing machine feet pads. They are expensive. I am getting what I need tomorrow and making it. Thanks so much.

Hi - great idea -- seems I need one now, ha -- thanks a bunch - praying you and yours are well

Wow!! Great project and well-done instructions. Thanks!

Thanx Vanessa ! It's a Great Help in d way u show d Tips & Tricks of stitchng that particular product. Am planning to make a few, as gifts. Keep Posting. Bye!.

Thank you very much, great and very useful tutorial.

So very talented for a young lady . Well done. Nice videos.

Wonderful solution! You are a great teacher. I look forward to seeing more from you. This is my first utube I’ve seen from you!!

Vanessa, thanks I just made this and it turned out great. I really do enjoy your teaching style, I give you an A. Your voice is very pleasant to hear and you show all aspects and the little tips and trips. I have learned so much from you, thank you.

De este proyecto, lo que más me gusta es: lo sencillo que haces el biés o sesgo, te veo casi a diario, gracias

This is great Vanessa thanks

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing! I have been learning a lot!😊

You are awesome ... this tutorial is EXCELLENT! Thank you!

and to think I almost went out and bought a pad for $17 + shipping!!! This is way cheaper and also so much fund to do because it's so easy and quick. It feels nice to have sewing projects that you can complete quickly and get something functional out of them. Thanks so much for sharing your sewing joy (and ideas)!

Made 2 of these. 1 for sewing machine. 1 for overlocker. Sew easy to make. Thank you sew much. Great video. Xx

Love your videos. I have all the supplies so I am going to make one, thanks for the tip.

Omg. love it. my foot petal is brand new and, you know, it still flows to the curve of how I wrapped the power cord and slides every where. thanks so much for this video

I make bias tape, I really need to get that bias tape maker. And I need those clips !! You are so full of great Ideas !!!

Love looking at your videos you explain things really well. thankyou

This is fabulous! I was just grumbling last week about constantly chasing my foot peddle around. It's like chasing a toddler around. Ha!

I will definitely do this. Thanks

Always love your tutorials, I can use this for sure. So tired of chasing my pedal.

If you have trouble making the bias lay smoothly around the corners, preshaping with the iron (before applying to the item) helps a lot.

Thank you for always taking the time to explain in detail little things like how to line up bias strips! I always have uneven bias tape and now I now why!

I like this idea. I'm always searching for that silly presser foot!!!

Thanks. My foot peddle is AL WAYS moving. Great idea.

I have been sewing/quilting for over 40 years, self taught when I was 9 years old, I now have been teaching our grand daughter how to sew. She loves it. Anyway, I just want to say that I love your videos/projects. Even though I have been sewing for an eternity, I still learn new cool stuff from you....thank you

Soooooo smart! Chasing my pedal with my foot is a constant - it never occurred to me to sew a non-slip mat our of the dollar store grip mesh (that's what I call it, anyway). I've got some on hand and am going to sew one of these right now. Brilliant idea - thank you sew (har-har) much.

slick and easy and most of all functional

love this i can't believe how it even moves on carpet!

Just went to dollar store to buy the rug pad thing to use to make my own.... So simple....

Thanks for the video. I had previously used one layer of the liner but it didn't do the job. I used left over extra wide double fold bias tape (joined pieces) since no one but me will see it. Using 2 layers of liner really makes a difference. Glad I never spent the money for the commercial foot pedal pads.

Wonderful instructor. Had to subscribe.

Great idea. Also, your son will have a useful skill. My mom taught me to sew. It saved me a lot of money while in the Air Force because I could sew my own stripes and patches, hem uniform pants, take in the shirt sides and such.

A great idea, making one for my foot pedal today.

A fun and quick project. I learned to make my own bias tape AND the pad really works. I'm new to sewing and my machine does not have speed control but using the pad it makes controlling the speed easy, faster or SLOW!! Thanks : D

I already use the carpet underlayment which is similar to the shelf liner for my machine pedals. But your idea would make them look so much better and would make a nice gift for my youngest granddaughter who got a sewing machine for Christmas. Great Job!

When sewing these mats, I put a couple sheets of computer paper under the mat just to the left edge of the presser foot. The mat will move smoothly as you sew. Be careful not to sew the paper to the fabric. If you do you can pull the paper from the stitching. Great video! From, Nancy P

You are amazing,I was looking for something to keep my petal in place.Thans.

Great ideal thank you sharing, i use one of them.

I love, love, love, the insight you share in your videos...new sewists neeeeeed that~~! It's so great! you shared about the measurement and connecting strips in this one...you could have easily just flew through the video and left this stuff out ...but you didn't and I'm so grateful! It makes me want to watch more of your videos to find out what other tips and insight you're sharing. Again, thanks so much for sharing :-) You're awesome! Keep up the good work :-) E.

Excellent video. I have got to make 4 of these for my machines. Thanks

This is so neat. I just made 3 so far. I wish to meet you one day, you are so nice I could watch you every day. thanks....

No entiendo nada de Inglés, pero me encanto este proyecto y lo voy a hacer!!! Gracias!!💙💙💙💜💜💜

You have no idea how many times my foot chases my sewing machine pedal. Like doing a one footed tap dance. haha! Will give this a go. Thanks.

Love it. will make one today. Thank you

Nicely done. ❤️❤️❤️

You are so talented. I created my non-slip pad. It's not as nice as yours, but it is working great. Thank you!

I need about 10 of these for sewing machine and serger peddles as well as the machines themselves. Great tutorial Vanessa, thank you!

Wow, wish I knew this trick sooner, always chasing the foot underneath my table so now i am off to sew one, thank you Vanessa !!! xxx

Loved this just got myself a sewing machine today I don’t need this now cus I’m working on a desk that has a bottom piece of would that will hold the pedal but if I upgrade the desk I just might love it!! TFS

very nice & awesome tool piping maker

I really like this idea thank you!!!
