My sister made me a quilted machine pad with pockets across the front. I stitched a piece of the waffle-type shelf liner to the back and it works great. Also, I use a tilt board when I sew, and I stapled the shelf liner all the way around it, so the machine doesn't shift on the board, the board doesn't move on the pad, and the pad doesn't move on the table. Overkill, maybe, but it works.
