I have multiple sclerosis so i understand about being fatigued by noon. Quilting this is also a time to use any kind of decorative stitch. You can still go up and down and side to side but purposely don't go exactly same distance apart, can even go wonky. If you're doing straight lines, or curved doesn't matter just have fun. You can even do several different decorative stitches on the same quilting project. I made one of these several years ago but did quilt as you go blocks for the mat part and added several pockets to hold different things. Some little pockets sewed directly to the mat and more than 1 layer of pocket fabric, with 1st layer sewn between the little pockets 2 at a time then next layer 3 at a time last layer one big pocket. Holds everything essential. I love it. You've done a beautiful job, relaxing to watch you work

Made this tonight. Been wanting to make for awhile. I added another row of pockets. Loving it. I will be using it at my sewing class next week.

Love..love the fabric you chose!!! Made a cute sewing machine mat. Love your creativity! Thank you for sharing.

That came out really nice. I never saw a sewing machine mat before, but that looks really handy. What a great idea.

Love this fabric! Thank you for showing us how to make this! I also have sewn through my finger and it did HURT! It was a lesson learned to slow down and pay attention....LOL

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve always wanted something like this to put under my Sewing Machine and my Serger. This looks so quick and easy so, I will be giving this a try. Thanks again.

I love to hear you chat as you sew. I am quilting casserole carriers as I watch you today.

Thanks for showing how to miter the corners of the binding! It sure is the hardest for me!! Very intimidating! You made it look easy! Love your videos! Keep them coming!

I love this sewing machine mat! Thank you for this tutorial. Have a great weekend. Crafty hugs

Oh I just got into the sewing a few weeks ago and if I had heard your story about the needle in the thumb, I would of said, NOPE, not going to sew :). So glad you where ok. I really like this project. I think this would make a great gift to some of my friends who craft/sew! Thanks so much for sharing your talent. I love your channel.

Love this sewing mat! I am going to make one today! Thank you for sharing this!

It’s good to see you not pulling on the fabric while you’re stitching it down. So many people pull it while it’s being stitched. I was taught not to do that in sewing class and by my Mom and my sister in-law. My sister-in-law was an experienced seamstress. She made draperies, slip covers for furniture, clothing. Pulling the fabric in such a way, can result in breaking the machine needles. You’re doing quite well. 😻😻

Excellent demonstration on, tutorial on a sewing a matt with pockets for a sewing machine.

Thank you for making it easy to make for beginners like myself.

OMG I had my finger stuck in there when I was threading my machine. I forgot to turn my machine off and my foot slipped on the pedal and WHAM! It went through. I am 11 years old and that was in May during the pandemic. I was making masks. I screamed and my mom was more scared then me. I called my friend's mom and she told me to soak it in iodine. The next day I started sewing again with a cool story to tell to my virtual class.

You need to sell these and your cozy bowl holders, would love to see how you make them, how many yards of fabric I am not a very good seamstress but I would love to make this and the bowls for chili, you are my new best friend on you tube! lol..you are just the sweetest and such a good teacher, not all of us are as good at crafts but you are such a wonderful person to explain it to us in the craft world!😊

I avoided sewing for the longest time because I had a fear of skewering my finger. I finally got over it but yeah... I try to really watch my finger position. It’s funny though how long that fear kept me away from sewing machines. I grew up with my mom sewing all the time. I also took home ec (yeah that dates me lol) and we had to sew pot holders so I knew how to sew. I’m glad it didn’t deter you from sewing afterwards.

Lovely i enjoyed thank you. Will be making one from my patchwork i been putting together.👍👍

I love the way you teach

Super cute. I love your fabric choices.

Great idea love it thank you for sharing! Hugs Liz x

Love that sewing machine fabric.

Hi Deanna! Love your channel. Maybe put a pin cushion or magnetic mat into the mat to the right side of where the sewing machine sits. Also this would be cute for an arm chair caddy.

I love how you made this beginner friendly. I think I will use interface instead of batting.

Omg I bought the exact same sewing notions fabric a few days ago and came across your video 😅🤩😁

So Pretty !! Thank you for sharing this❤

I just loved how you made this tutorial you were calm and precise. Thanks for showing us all how to make this sewing pad Joann

so cute. love it. I know someone who would love one of these. Great work!

Another fantastic video that I can't wait to try! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!! The story about you sewing your finger made me squeamish but I knew your Dear Husband would rescue you!! What a great guy! Thank you again! I too was wondering where you found the adorable sewing machine fabric?

I used to listen to a Canadian doctor on the radio. Someone called and asked about Shingles. The answer they gave was, anyone that has Shingles should not eat corn or anything that has corn in it. As for your projects, I love them all! Keep going! Thanks!

How wonderful is this, love the fabric !! I have had shingles twice , the last time was a coup,e years ago and it was near my eye, painful as all get out, as my grandmother would say !

Very cute the only thing I would have done was the bias tape in black 👍🏼 and I would add another stripe of fabric on top of the red & white fabric to add some smaller pockets because sometimes you have things that are shorter and the 1st pockets are really deep 👍🏼 that’s just something I would do 🌻

Sandwich/quilt some Insul-Brite to part that sits between the sewing machine and the edge of the table, to iron with a mini iron. Also, fold this in half and sew on ties so you can wear it as an apron with the pockets in front. That way everything you need can go with you from cutting table to ironing board back to the sewing machine. It doesn't need to live just under the sewing machine.

Very nice, easy and fast! Thank you

I think this is the nicest sewing machine mat i have seen thank you. I had a needle go thru my finger on zig zag when I was about 16. I needed surgery to remove it. your story of your machine needle gave me shivers. do you have the feeling back yet? I watch other ladies use their machines and there fingers are so close they worry me. thanks again.

Super cute project! Love your channel. I’m also interested on your chicken tutorial :)

Thank you for explaining slowly. 😂 I'm a beginner at sewing. But you explained it nicely. 😊 I'm going to make my mom one for mothers day.

I did that back in the 70s . I turned the wheel to get it out put a bandage on and continued sewing

Thank you for sharing this. Have you made the video on making your chicken pincushion yet? I can’t find it. 🙂cute fabric!

Thank You for showing us I will make one tommorow. Ill send you pictures

Oooooooch! I know that hurt. Anyway I have to have one of these for sure. I was into quilting for a long time too. I got bored with it and ventured into other things. This weekend is non stop koozies and wreath bases for craft fair.

Hi there! I love that you are a Filipina by marriage! Thanks for making this easy for me!

I love this one! Thank you! Have you ever made a serger mat? One that catches the scraps?

Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm off on vacation till October but I will do this when I get back. It looks so handy and I love that fabric. I am not much of a sewer, but I did manage to sew through my thumbnail when I was a kid and my mom was 'trying' to teach me. I tend to have a lead foot with the pedal!. Now I just like to sew 'projects' and fun things, no clothes either. Looking forward to the chicken! :-)

That was great I am getting ready to make one for my friends Birthday

I am just a begginer at sewing.do we need bias binding (or tape/piping)in straight pieces as well or we use them when there is some curve in a cloth in which we are attaching a piping/tape?

I like the way you teach

Great idea once again my friend😘. Hoping she does good with her craft fair. Love ya...😘💖

Great video I love your channel x x x

What size is your cutting mat? It looks like a giant square instead of a rectangle. I Love it!!!

What size bias tape did you use for the binding did you use?

What type of sewing machine do you have. It looks really nice. Do you quilt on it with quilts

Wow how cute is that !here I was purchasing ugly mats for my machine lol thanks will have to try that.

You're so talented! I love your video's💜

I need this...kool idea

I got the first half of the Shingrix shot this summer. Hopefully will have enough money to get the 2nd half by the end of December

I know that you are making a sewing machine mat, but that could be a really nice baby blanket too.

Yeah!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Where do you get your cute fabric .Your mat is so pretty thank you for showing this and all the item you make .

Is wadding ik to use instead of the batting ?

Deanna you should sell your sewing mats that you make at the craft fair or online!

Can’t wait to make this. But first I have to dig my sewing machine out from under all my other crafting stuff! My mom had shingles. She was miserable. I’m waiting for the vaccine to come in stock then I’ll be taking it.

yes Thank You

thank you....where did you get the materical...love it..what kind of sewing machine do you have

Do you have to use a walking foot?

What was the measurement of the poke dot material used to make pockets to the quilted material the sewing machine will sit on? Need ASAP.

Oh yes, I had shingles starting in mid abdomen and going all the way around to my middle back. I had really large pustules and could not wear any clothes. I wore only loose gowns and I didn’t have any energy, I was really sick for over a week. Of course, I was in my mid 70’s which is probably what made then so bad. I even missed one of my favorite sister-in-laws funeral. Don’t want them again.

thank you for the showing my koozie, my name is Italyn for Grandma No-naa :)

Hi Deanna, I love this tutorial and I love, love the sewing notions fabric. Would you please tell me where you purchased it from? Thank you so much! Cheryl

Yes, I've had shingles, and they are very painful. I had them under my bra on my back, which made it worse. I had a very smart dr, she right away put a plastic shield over them, so they didn't spread. Air makes them spread, and I couldn't scratch them or my bra irritate them. I just had to change the plastic shield every couple of days. Horribly uncomfortable.

Have you added the backing as yet ?

What brand of sewing mach you have?

Muy bonito pero en el video no se ve como haces las esquinas, que es lo más interesante. Gracias

Your skills are lovely. If you don’t consider yourself a seamstress perhaps you would like the term “sewist.” It is a real term no matter what spellcheck reads!🥰

What type of fabric do you use

Silly question, but what's a sewing machine mat?? The purpose, function.? I don't sew but interested in the craft. Thanks

Could you write the measurments?

What batting is this

I will never get the shingles because I have never had the chicken pox. when my sister had them , my mother made me sleep in the bed with my sister, hoping I would get them from her. But I did not get the chicken pox. Since then I have been exposed to the chicken pox many times in my 63 years, but have never come down with them. My daughter is the same way also. She was exposed to the chickenpox in 2nd grade but she did not get them . Instead she brought it home and her two brothers came down with very light cases of chicken pox. She has been exposed to the chicken pox many times but she has never gotten them, like me.

can i just get some quilted fabric

Please. You need to stop saying “I went ahead and...”. Listen to your video. Count how many times you say “I went ahead and ___.”
