Handy Sewing Machine "Place Mat"
Went to a quilt show in Milford PA yesterday. Very nice and found a neat item for sale. It is a kind of place mat with pouches across one side. Maybe others have seen this but I never did. Bought one and you put it under the sewing machine with the pouch side hanging in you lap area and there is a place for the scissors; seam ripper; pins; stiletto or what ever you want. I think it is great and it is already under the sewing machine.

I have something similar but I don't use it under my machine for two reasons: my machine has suction cups for feet that keep it glued to the table, and those front pockets block entry to my desk drawer where I keep all my scissors, notions, and tools. However, my pocket pad is made with heat-resistant materials and is designed for pressing, so I set up another table to the side of my desk in an L shape. Now I can sew, turn and press seams.
