The pictures are lovely Maree I have only ever seen the top we redesigned from the point of view as “the wearer of the garment” it is good to see it as what I call a “photo of the garment” it does look good and without sounding vain I am impressed with everything we did to make it look the way it did….. thank you for giving me the advise I needed and helping me with the restyle. I do so love the classes and have just completed five years. The knowledge I have gained has been invaluable and I am now brave enough to be adventurous. Not only are you a great teacher you have become a special friend. Love from Shirley (self proclaimed teachers pet)!!!

Hi Ladies,

It’s foam ribbed matting. I bought it at Joys fabric Warehouse T: +61 3 52221440 168 Moorabool St Geelong VIC Australia 3220. If you are unable to visit Joy’s try your local fabric or machine store, online or perhaps a hardware store.

Happy sewing,
Maree

What a great idea. I was looking at my sewing machine this morning wondering what would be the best to stop it from wobbling and moving around. Do you sell this matting and the other sewing aids you recommend?

Couldn’t quite make out what this product was – ‘Foam ?something? Matting’ – and where do you buy this? Clark Rubber? Thanks!

What a great idea the table mat is, the machine stays put no vibration.
