Undercover Maker Mat on Retreat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took the Undercover Maker Mat on the CQFA Retreat. I got to try it out. That was why I made it.<\/p>\n

I thought the front pockets worked pretty well. I can see where a pincushion might be handy, but I don’t plan to transfer my pins from pincushion to pincushion every time I use the mat.<\/p>\n

I think the pockets would be more in use depending on the different projects I might be working on. I might use the larger selvage pocket on the left for a 6.5 inch ruler as needed. For what I did at the retreat having my snips and seam ripper handy was fine.<\/p>\n

I had a couple of issues. First, you can see that the snips sleeve is in the pocket. Without the snips sleeve, my snips kept getting caught on the inside of the pocket. I added the snip sleeve because I didn’t want to cut the mat. Perhaps I should have used oilcloth for the inside of the pockets?<\/p>\n

I didn’t notice it at the retreat, but I did notice it at the Jen Carlton Bailly class. I couldn’t get the legs of my Sew Steady table level when using the mat. I may want to make another mat that is larger so the Sew Steady doesn’t have to try and deal with different heights (mat\/table).<\/p>\n

None of this is fatal or a problem with the pattern<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
