Get a Grip + foot pedal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Welcome to the underside of my sewing table.<\/p>\n

I wanted to show you the Martelli No Slip Pad for Foot Pedal<\/a>** in situ. This foot pedal pad really works! The location in which you see it is where it has been since I received it on Christmas. No joke<\/strong><\/em>. It has not moved at all as I sew.<\/p>\n

The foot pad is made from the same materials as the machine pad<\/a>. There is something hard and stiff in the middle. There is, then, a layer of some kind of non-slip rubber on the top and bottom, covering the hard surface. Product Dimensions: 9.0 inches L x 0.3 inch H x 9.0 inches W. The size on the Amazon description varies, FYI, so these are my measurements.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first foot pedal pad that has stayed in place for me. Usually the foot pedal creeps towards the wall until I can’t operate the foot pedal. When the foot pedal ends up under those boxes (on the upper left), I can’t wedge my foot on the foot pedal any more. Then I have to haul it out, reposition it and start over. It is a small thing, but it makes me crazy.<\/p>\n

Note: I have hardwood floors in my workroom and have not tried it on carpet.<\/p>\n

I have the two previous pedal pads under my table ‘just in case’, but will be getting rid of them soon.<\/p>\n

This is a Martelli product. I always thought Martelli only sold their rotary cutters at quilt shows. I went to their website<\/a> and found they have an amazing number of products. Not only do they have their signature rotary cutters, but they have workstations, a subscription box, the Get a Grip mats and many other items. I wonder if COVID forced them to diversify?<\/p>\n

Get one of these the Martelli No Slip Pad for Foot Pedal<\/a>**. They are the best. They really work.<\/p>\n
