I could probably come up with lots more.
Good luck!

Recently there was a thread about a pad to prevent the sewing machine from moving. I bought a clear bath mat at Dollar General that has round holes in it. I cut off about 5" from one end to use under my foot control and folded the rest to put under the sewing machine. MAGIC--------for $3

I'm thinking the round holes in the mat will let heat dissipate from the foot control, too.
