I use it for pulling needles that are hard to grab, opening jars, and tightening and loosening needle tips on my interchangeable circular knitting needles.

I agree with both of you..I too have been chasing that darn foot pedal..even the rubber does work under my pedal..I gave it boxed in..bit it still tries to scoot....the bottom is all plastic..you think for spending $1000. For a sewing machine, they could give me a better foot..I think I am going to use that double stick and stick the rubber to it..just laying it on doesn't make it stay..thanks for the ideas!!..Kathy

Now you tell me, Carol! I've been chasing that darned foot pedal for years - of course, it has helped me to keep my svelte figure, though (NOT!). LOL!

Love that stuff, Sheila.  I also attach little squares of it with double faced clear tape to the underside of my rulers.  No slipping and much cheaper than the "no slip stickers" you can buy.

Morning All!

Just wanted to share a tip this a.m. I bought a roll of the rubberized shelf liner and used a piece of it under my foot pedal and it's working great! I'm going to take the rest of the roll and put it on my shelves where I keep the dishes.

Yes, it's Edyta Sitar's Hop to It. I can see why you've kept your DH.

Oh Peggy, that is so pretty. I think I have the book that has the middle block in it. I want to do that one also.  On my, does anyone know when we start to get 30 hours each day. I could use the additional 4.

Oh I am so thankful for my DH. He is the one that nudges me to keep my area straightened up. In 33 years of marriage I have never had to pick up after him. He's done the cleaning all these years until we moved to Ohio, now we have a lady come in and do what we can't. My excuse, and its true, is I'm allergic to dust and neither of our backs can handle the vacuum.  I think I'll keep him.

LOL! I forgot to add that the bathroom IS the library at my house. His sudoku book & pencil reside in the top of the toilet tank. Ah, the we can all tell...

Did I say that was the only place he put stuff? Did I say that? He has a "study" downstairs. A whole room. He has stuff piled on the floor. Also in the living room. So far, only magazines in the bathroom.

Well, art least he has one. Mine leaves pieces of it all over three house. He starts at the back door & leaves some on the dryer. Pulls out his pocket knife & opens an envelope in the morning room. That's where i find an envelop. Moves through the kitchen to the dining room & drops whatever was in the envelope on the dining room table. Proceeds to my sewing room/office to drop off any obvious bills. They might make it to the computer or may only make it as far as the ironing board. Then he stops at the bathroom (for obvious reasons) and leaves a piece or 2 of junk mail on the sink. Finally he gets to his recliner where anything left in his hands ends up on one of two end tables. A few days later I find it on the floor & put it where it belongs. ~sigh~

Love that quilt, Peggy! Sew bright & cheery.
