I never thought about using velcro for that, but I found one that had a piece of margarine tub (I'm guessing-it was yellow) between two layers of fabric. Considering that the enamel/decals underneath were still intact, I assume the original owner did that to prevent scratching up her new machine. I would think anything flexible enough to bend around the arm but hard enough to prevent the pins from going through would do, although that might be a hard combo to come up with.
And yes, as long as the enamel/decals are already beat, you may as well put something fancy there! If your sewing table looks like mine, it would be the one pincushion that wouldn't disappear under everything.
