I love the little booties idea. I am going to make booties for my portables with a foot pedal! I agree, I hate scratches! Thank you for the idea!

Nancy, Yes. Tom is getting some advice from me as a matter of fact he is coming over today to learn how to rewire a motor. I'm trying to get him to join us here on QB. I think he will soon.
Thank you. Tom's has a nicer finish on it though. I know how you like the Pfaff's and this would be comparable to one of them as far as performance and stitching. Like I said, if you see one at a good price, grab it! They are built in Germany and run so smooth, it is amazing. They are very forgiving machines and sew so smoothly and SUPER simple to use too.
Make the booties kind of snug. The first ones I made were old pant legs and were loose fitting. The foot controller just slid out of it and that kind of defeats the purpose. And you are welcome.
