Whwn I made my pad, I used clear plastic, folded the top down
my 6 inches to form the pocket and still be able to see what;s inside,
when I folded the vinyl in half, I stitched a clear tubing across the top to stabilize the top. I used oxygen tubing. I stitctched below the tubing.
Just for fun, I sandwiched a few M&Ms inside the fold "just for emergency" and a decoration! Then divided into pockets at each end, using a double seam about 1/4 inch apart for security, one was wider to hold a pen. I left a large pocket in front to catch threads, etc or to store items that needed to be laying down.
On another pad Imade, I sewed 2 loops one on each end. I put a dowel through the loops. I wind my binding material around a toilet paper roll, slip it over the dowel and my folded binding unrolls as I sew it on and doesn't get out of control for me!
What I love about this tutorial is first it’s simplicity. And adaptability! I have a large machine and want to cover the table top! In addition, I used a tape measure across in front of the machine, sewed it on. And an exterior pocket for my cellphone. To keep the pens and ripper, I attached an elastic above the pockets. The pockets hold the brushes, and other things for the machine. Thank you for the tutorial .
I like that idea about the elastic to hold smaller items. I have plenty of that left over from the COVID-19 mask project.
I absolutely love this. I bought a pattern to make the same thing years ago and never made it. Just now looked at the directions and it is SO complicated. You have made the same thing so easy! Thank you, thank you!!!!
Jenny, I have to say, you still have the best, easiest and cutest tutorials on the web. I searched ALL the videos for a sewing machine mat and yours was the best...and the one I chose to make. It has all the same attributes as all the others (old and new) but is the simplest to make. Why everyone else has to add so many extra steps and complicate things, I will never know. Thanks so much!
I totally agree with you! I am in the process of making one right now. I have put it off as I didn't want something complicated but this is soooo easy!
@@FOSSILFERN10 My brain seems to work much like Jenny's and I always understand what she's trying to explain. She just makes it so simple and easy.
Merry Christmas Jenny! Many blessings to the Doan family. Thanks for all you do for quilters everywhere!
Brilliant.. Love this Lady. Full of inspirational ideas. Thank you for taking the time to make this and all of your other videos..!
Nice to see quilting 'craft' tutorials. We all need a break now and then. Very pretty. Thanks, Jenny.
Just finished my sewing machine pad! So cute! Thanks so much MSQC!
I made this mat right away two years ago and added a pincushion with ribbon and a button so I can take it off. I roll it up for carrying to sew
with friends, and it's wonderful for all my stuff!! Now I am teaching my 10 yr old grand daughter to sew, and we are making one for her lovely new machine. Thanks again for my gift Jenny! X
I love this. I just added it to my weekday sewing priority list. Thank you so much for this Jenny.
Thank you Jenny for sharing your time and talents. You are wonderful.
Thank you Jenny for all your videos. Merry Christmas to you and the entire Missouri Star family.
This is my favorite video this week! What a great project...I will have to make this for sure! I love how Jenny is so easy going and makes this project fun to make! Thanks for the inspiration :D
My daughter and I made this today but altered it a bit .... Made it longer and added ties to double as a machine cover for her new machine I gave her for Christmas... Thank you for the inspiration and love all of your videos and hope to com to MSQC someday.
What a super idea - I love it! It's going to be my first project after the holidays. Thank you, Jenny, and Merry Christmas to you all!
Thanks for super simple! I need this to keep notions
from getting lost on the table! Thanks for all you and your team do that keeps me sewing!
Merry Christmas !! thank you for all the wonderful tutorials this year
Thanks for the gift. Your sewing instructions are inspirational-- not only for this project, but also for making other things for my sewing room.
Jenny keep it up with your tutorials I just love them. And this pattern is just what I need in my sewing room. Thanks so much.
Merry Christmas to you, your family and all your loved ones and thanks for all these lovely videos!
Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge! I love your videos because they are so easy to follow and you have such a sweet personality!
Wow, what an easy-to-follow tutorial for this adorable sewing machine pad!
Thank You!!!
Thank you Jenny. I am new to quilting (been sewing for 50 years) and your videos made it possible for me to make quilts for my two grandsons this year. I also made matching pillow cases using your tutorial and embroidered their names on the cuff with my sewing machine. I so enjoyed the process that I know I will continue to quilt...most likely watching your videos.
+Sue Merrell that is so great!! I am so glad that the tutorials have been so helpful to you! It is so wonderful to be able to make something so precious for somebody that you love...priceless! :)
Oh! Jenny, you are a legend. Thank you for sharing your "brainstorming " with us all, quilters and sewers.
Love your calm aura and your "snowballing it" 👏😊
Merry Christmas!
I love this project. It looks like something fun to work on between Christmas and New Years.
Great tutorial, as usual Jenny. I love that they are always very thorough, but clear and concise.
Oooooo I'm glad I saw this!! THIS is exactly what I started to imagine making as soon as my holiday projects were over. THANKS a mil!
Jenny, I love how your brain works. Your tutorials always stick in my brain. Thanks Ma'am
My favorite lady on you tube :) Thank you again for helping us out by sharing all those wonderful ideas .God bless your hands xx
Just finished mine! Made it with red & white checked one side, watermelon print on other...reminds me of fun with the family & picnics! Thanks for tutorial & Happy New Year to the Doan's and all you quilter's out there!!
I am so grateful that you did this tutorial. I have been admiring these for some time but was never able to find the pattern. Again, you have made something easy for me. I love your tutorials and have learned so much from you!
So cute Jenny, you are such a leader. I'm adopting you as my grandma. thanks for the video.
Love your tutorials Jenny,always useful and fun.😍
I love this and I'll be making at least one, but probably more. I have a few sewing machines that I use all the time, so I'll make one for each machine.
Merry Christmas to you and all your family, Jenny! And Happy New Year too!
Love this idea being a quilter of only 12 months. Thanks Jenny, what would I do without you....
Merry Christmas Jenny and everyone at MSQC! Wonderful tutorial and oh so useful. So customizable! Love the ideas of putting rubberized shelf liner under the sewing machine part, the pin cushion (or wonder clips keeper)...
Merry Christmas to you and your family! I've enjoyed all of the videos you have posted and look forward to doing more projects with your company!
Merry Christmas Jenny to you, your family and staff. Love your tutorials and will definitely making this mat.
I've watched a bunch of your videos. You have a lovely personality and explain things clearly without a ton of unnecessary detail. Even if I'm not interested in making your project, I enjoy watching your videos because you're so cheery! Plus I usually learn a new tip or two. Thanks so much for making these videos!
Thank you for such a great video tutorial. This Sewing Pad is so useful and is quick and easy to make. Everyone that sews needs one. This also would make a nice gift for a sewing friend.
Jenny, I can’t wait to try and make this, I just love all your neat ideas, this one is really going to come in handy❤️❤️
I made one and love it. I customized the pockets to fit my cell phone, as well as the other items I like to keep handy. Thanks for another great tutorial. PS, I like that I can slide my machine over easily now to provide a little work space when necessary.
Jenny, I have learned so much from you over the years. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. God Bless.
Fröhliche und gesegnete Weihnachten für Dich, Jenny, und Deine ganze Familie!
Thank you, Jenny for this awesome tutorial! I made one today for my Juki machine and posted photos on your Facebook page. Got 2 more to make for two more machines! LOL I'm in love!
I just finish making this one for myself. I love your videos. They are really easy to follow. A little over a year ago, I hardly knew how to sew. Now I can't make enough, thanks to you and thanks to a special aunt who wanted me to keep her passion for quilting going after her passing. I'm sure she is looking down on me now and pretty proud of my accomplishments so far. Thanks
Love it! So, so practical. Thank you Jenny.
This is one of my favorite tutorials because it is something I can do in under an hour, its easy to do with scraps if needed It's something special for me as quilter and it gave me a whole knew outlook on using steam a seam!
Jenny, Happy New Year and I just want to say that you really outdid yourself this time. I love it an going to make it for my three machines and serger. Keep the ideas coming. Love you.
This is my current favorite; but I confess that just about every new tutorial becomes my favorite! I made this with some great fabric I received as a Christmas present, then had enough to recover my iron board, and even make two matching pin cushions! This pad is so, so easy, and so handy! What a great idea, and thanks so much for figuring this out for us!
Made one for each of my machines. I love them! Everything you need is right there, I'm not stopping to look anymore.
+Sheryl Prochnow Yay! Sounds like some stress free sewing time is in your future!! :)
Merry Christmas to you, your family and staff 🎄. Thank you for this tutorial, now I can make mine with some treating sewing material that I have.
Thank you for a great idea. When I go to my quilt class we are a little short on room. This will help keep my tools handy and less chance of misplacing. Now that Christmas rush is over, it will be fun to make something for myself.
This is my favorite tutorial because it looks easy enough for a beginning sewer like me to make. Thank you for the clear instructions. I think I found a new favorite CZcams channel, you have some great tutorials. Have a great day.
Thanks Missouri Star Quilt Company for such a great pattern. I made the sewing machine pad last week and I honestly don't know how I have lived without it! So easy to make and yet so efficient. Love all your tutorials, but this one really worked for me!
What great videos!!am a self taught quilter and now ur tutorials are my teacher-thank
Made one today after watching your tutorial last night. Love it and it was a very satisfying useful project to complete. Thank you for always giving your viewers/fans such easy to follow instructions and videos. I used all leftover materials and added a small pincushion with velcro.
Merry Christmas! Thank for the beaut tutorial Jenny
This is a Great idea. I love the scissors and the pincushion ideas also. I quilt on my dining room table. And I have a drawer liner under it. But this would be such a better idea. You guys give such great ideas and advice.
Merry Christmas Jenny! This is my next project, thank you! 🎄
This is a really useful quick and easy sewing machine pad that even a beginner can create. I look forward to making one for my daughter in law who loves to sew kids clothes. Thank you Jenny as always.
Love this project and works like a dream... I stitched a pincushion above my pocket and its my favorite part.
I thought the sewing machine pad was so sweet. You gave it for us, but I made three for my daughter, sister, and niece with there name embroidered across the pocket. Still need to make mine.
Love all your tutorials your smile blesses me most along with all the great teachings.
I like the care she has taken to explain the list of items and how she does everything step by step.
Merry Christmas:) thank you for the wonderful tutorials they are always fun.
I love the way your brain works! Thanks for making this simple and accessible
I see you 3 Years , and I'm from German , your video's looks so good - Thank you
Well Done Jenny!! I've watched this Video several times....Never Tire of Watching YOU!
Great craft!! I think I will make it for a quilting friend for Christmas this year. I like the idea of adding a pin cushion to the side. Thanks for the great tutorials!!
I love your videos. I am not good at following patterns either, so this gives me hope. I am just starting to quilt and this is a great project for beginers. God bless you
I love this and I am going to make 4..one for each of my machines!!! Thank you for this and all your videos, I love them all!
Merry Christmas to you & your entire extended family May the blessings of our LORD be abundant & unending.
I am really enjoying watching your tutorials,have been making a few purses,and make-up bags...Thanks
I love all your tutorials. I've learned so much! Thank you, I also love how your iron lifts up when you push it away! Makes me want one!

What a great idea! Thank you, Jenny! Merry Christmas!
So easy! So adaptable. I will make this and just above the pocket sew on a tape measure. And use a ziplock bag in one side of the pocket for threads and snips. Thanks Jenny. A great tutorial as usual.
Your commenting contributors added excellent ideas. I cannot wait to make a bunch for Christmas. My mother bought each daughter-in-law and my daughters a sewing machine and we collected sewing baskets and goodies to go with. Although I knew she was planning on it, I never thought of thought of machine pads or pin cushions, etc. So glad I watched!
just made the machine pad. fun project. I made a 6 inch pocket but from that pocket over I sewed up 1 inch from the bottom of the pocket for the short supplies, Thanks for all the great quilt patterns. I start my day and end my day with Jenny . Happy New Year to all of you. HUGS
love making items that help me keep things organized
Love your Sewing Machine Pad!!! Can't wait to see Missouri Star Quilt Co at The Roads to California Quilt Show in Upland, Ca. I will be buying some sewing goodies at Missouri Star Quilt booth. So Excited to go and be there!!!!
THANK YOU, Jenny!! This tutorial on " The Gifted Sewing Machine Pad" is awesome, because you made it so clear how customize- able it is! I have not yet started my sew as you go quilt as I had hit a rough patch, and now I see why universe stopped me from starting with it. I want to make this pad first so things are super organized before I start, that way perhaps I will not be "pulling out frustrated "with myself and can "Jenny talk" myself through things better.I love the calmness surrounding you, even with the excited giggles with walking us through every blessed step, thank you so much. You are amazing, and the foundation of your company's transformation of a town, shows the power of love, how it shows up in so many ways that we least expect when we follow our passions and then share our gifts with the world. KUDOS!! I hear an angel team wildly cheering you on, whistles and air pumps and maybe even some jumping up and down... "Way to go JENNY and family and company!! WOOHOOOO,even. :)" and no, I am not exaggerating.Thank you so much for sharing your passion in quilting and bringing love to the world. :)
The machine pad, by the way is a doorway to other projects, such as "protect the table" pads for hot stuff. A quick story: My father and his wife burned a lovely wooden table, accidentally. She had made a pie for a family dinner, a labor of love, beautiful and delicious. Something happened, and she had to set the pie down quick, an asthma attack or something I don't remember the exact cause, and didn't get back to it. The beautiful oak table top,from then on, was covered with a tablecloth.
Just imagine if instead of hot pads to bring it to the table she had a lovely pie pad to place it on and carry it in that way. Cool idea for another project or two. This is also how you could start a beautiful quilted carry all with pockets on a walker, or a stroller, for people who need that. Hmmm on the side of a wheel chair, oh both sides.. with strong hook and loop so the pockets could be remove-able but the arms of the wheelchair still have the quilted cover-- that idea needs to be fine tuned. Ah, but that is how it goes: creativity shows up and hopefully you write it down to be able get back to the good ideas that pop up, when your mind is busy doing other things, in the moment. Life goes on so persistently and daily, it is so nice to have these tutorials to come to, that spark new ideas. I think I may be hooked. LOL. Thanks again, Jenny Doan! Bless you.
This is the best thing made for a sewer.Fantastic
Jenny thanks so much for helping us to learn and share with us that imperfect can work, because we are not always perfect. That has worked for me as I have followed you to learn how to make bags. I am wanting to make a bag for a special friend but with the missouri star on either side and pockets on inside . The stars I have learned to add a picture to the center square of a special picture of us on one star and of a special sewing class in center of block on the other side. I am excited to think it possible but need you to help us learn how, might be good for tourists to make one of these or friend who wants to keep those special times close. I sure hope I explained myself so we can do this. Thanks so much for all you do to help us learn.
I like this video a lot because it's different from the quilting ones. Funny conversation and just the right Christmas video!
Just see you for the first time. I love the way you are, like many of us a luttle messy, losing things around. Love the way you explained. Will make one for each of my machines.
Life's a little messy and things get lost! If everyone thinks only perfectly organized people can sew or quilt, then nobody would ever sew or quilt!
Very wise, truly inventive and useful pattern. Bravo and thank you Jenny. Roseline, Québec
Thanks for the idea Jenny wishing you a wonderful New Year!!!
I am excited about this new project attempting to keep me organized! I plan to make it just as soon as I finish my latest quilt :-) Keep the wonderful tutorials coming. I wait for Fridays just to see the latest.
Merry Christmas from Scotland .Loved the machine mat something I have always meant to make I will have to now you have made it so easy.
Merry Christmas to everyone & your loved ones!
Thanks for this tutorial! I've just made my sewing machine pad, had quite a lot of fun and finally now I'm not going to loose my scissors any more!😁
I work the same way as you do. Shooting from the hip has always managed to work for me. I have been using the steam a seam for awhile now and I love how much better and easier my bindings look
Thank you for this wonderful idea. I created a large crazy quilt rectangle with my left over fabrics then trimmed it to the size to fit under my sewing machine and long enough to have pockets. I put a small pocket on each side and a large one in the middle, so I have a place for my small scissors and seam ripper on one side and a larger pair of scissors on the other side and then there is room for other stuff in the middle. Then I bound it in a coordinating fabric. I just love the convenience!
Such a quick and easy project ! Thanks Jenny!
Merry Christmas Jenny!!! You rock! ❤️🎄❤️🎄
I love it! Matter of fact, I love it so much I got right on it and made one for myself!! It was so easy! I took it a step further and made a pin cushion as well as pockets for seam rippers. This is such a great idea!! Thank you!!
+MrsBrownGnome How awesome! I love that everyone is getting creative with it!
Great idea Jenny, you make it all look so easy.
Awesome project Jenny, this is great, thanks! Hope you had a beautiful Christmas!
I have one of these that was made for me as a gift. It really helps with the vibration you experience when sewing on those plastic folding tables you find at retreats. Mine does have a pin cushion added with velcro on the side of the mat. My pockets on the right are narrow; seam ripper width; pencil width and small snips width, so they don't fall down and get lost. The big pocket is great for a candy bar or snack! My mat does not SLIDE. The machine I use it with is a Brother 6000i, and it is a light machine. I do lay a piece of "rubber shelf liner" under it to increase the absorption of the vibration.
I have made one for both of my machines and I love them, thank you for the idea !!
