The MadamSew Sewing Machine Pedal Mat has been exclusively designed to solve a common problem when using your sewing, embroidery or Serger machine.

Have you ever tried to step on your sewing machine pedal and found that it is not where you thought it was? Or maybe you were sewing along and your pedal kept moving so you were contorting to press down on it while you kept sewing? If that is the case, then the Sewing Machine Pedal Mat is for you!

This pedal mat will help keep your sewing machine pedal from moving or slipping as much. Therefore, allowing you to focus on your project, not on chasing your pedal. And, it protects your flooring from scratches or damage which is another great reason to have one!

• FACT: There are many needle types and sizes for different projects and fabrics, so if you are sewing with different materials often, you’re changing your needle faster than it wears out!

When you change the needle for another type or thickness, remove the pin and place the needle in the corresponding square so you can reuse your needle later and keep it organized at the same time. This is shown with the yellow headed pin in the photo.

Note: The soft measuring tape begins its measurement at 2 inches / 5 cm to account for the width of the hand-held case.

This sewing ruler is a 6 inch long aluminum gauge with a red sliding guide. Use it to quickly and consistently measure short spaces when sewing or quilting. Measuring correctly can have an enormous impact on the look of any sewing project!

You can set the measurement with the spacer and easily and quickly measure ⅝”, ¼” or ¾” hems or seam allowances. Long tape measures can easily get in the way when making these short measurements. The risk of making mistakes is much greater with regular sewing or quilting rulers. The set plastic spacer is a life saver here! 

Uses

• Pre-determine the dimension of a seam, a seam allowance or a hem

• Mark the distances between button holes, pleats or embellishments and transfer them fast and precisely 

This little lightweight gauge is the perfect size to throw in your bag and take to your sewing class or retreat!

Specifications

Size    6 inch (15.2 cm) long

Scale   inches and centimeters - 1/16 inch (1 mm) accuracy 

Material     aluminum → firm, lightweight, smooth edges, anti-rust and durable

Extra Features

• There are 3 little holes to secure the gauge or the slider with a pin.

• Use the hole in the upper left corner to pivot the ruler to use is as a compass to trace a circle or a curve.

• The point at the upper left corner also helps to turn points and press them out.

• Both columns are designed with useful marking widths. The “inch” column is exactly ¼ inch wide and the “centimeter” column is ⅜ inch wide – great for a quick check or marking line. The inch side of the gauge has 5 notches, one at every inch, to make marking even easier.

Instructions & More

The red plastic guide on this measuring gauge is adjustable, but stays in place for repeated marking. Simply lift the gauge up and down to check your measurements along a hem or seam.

The MadamSew Chalk Marker is a temporary marker with a toothed metal wheel that produces fine lines of chalk on fabrics. These fabric markers are always sharp and draw both straight and curvy lines. No need to sharpen the tip. The chalk doesn’t fade or brush off unwantedly, but is easy to remove. The chalk marker’s wheel rolls smoothly over cotton, knit fabrics, jersey, synthetic fibers, suede, leather... (Don’t use them on silk and nylon fabrics!)

• Very fine and precise chalk lines on many different types of fabric

• Dosing wheel technology: a toothed metal wheel at the tip distributes the chalk evenly as you roll it along

• Always sharp

• Reliable chalk lines, that stay put while sewing

• Ergonomic design; easy to hold because of the recessed tip and the overall shape of the pen

• Has a cap; protects the wheel and makes sure the chalk stays in the pen

• Refillable;  chalk marker refills are available in our sewing and quilting store

The powdered chalk comes in 3 colors: red, yellow and white. Don’t forget to choose your color when you order. Having more than one color at your disposal allows you additional options when marking fabrics of different hues and prints, or if you need to make distinguishing marks on your fabric.

Instructions & More

The MadamSew Chalk Markers don’t fade or brush off too easily, but at the same time they are not hard to rub off either. Gently rub the fabric with your hands or a brush, wash out with plain water, or remove with a damp cloth. 

Always test on a scrap or back of all project fabrics before using any marker on a finished project. You never know how a certain fabric will react!

The unique gel ink of the blue Madam Sew Fabric Pen makes clear and accurate marks on fabrics and disappears after ironing. It is truly Amazing to see! And a real game changer because you don’t have to wash it out or worry that it will fade before you are finished with your project.

Our fabric marking pen has a small, accurate writing point that leaves a thin yet nicely visible line and works extraordinarily well on nearly all fabrics. So what you get is a thin, accurate and clearly visible mark that stays visible for as long as you want it and is removed with an easy pass of a hot iron. A must-have for all sewists and quilters!

Like all marking products, there are important things you need to consider before using them. Read the “Important” items found on the Instructions & More tab.

INSTRUCTIONS and more

For detailed instructions and a tutorial video, visit our online manual about the Heat Erasable Fabric Marking Pens. We pride ourselves on making clear instructions for all of our products so you always get the best out of your sewing and quilting tools.

USE THE PEN WITHIN 5 MONTHS!

Your pen performs spectacularly for at least FIVE months, then the special gel ink may start to dry out.

We suggest that you always put the cap firmly back on if you are not using the pen. Unlike other pens, such as writing pens, you can’t leave this special pen sitting around uncapped. It is also helpful to store the pen pointed end down.

Order refills only when you run out, so you always have an ultra-fresh fabric marking pen!! :-)

Important:

• Always test these pens on scraps of ALL fabrics you will be using in your quilt as ghost marks can appear on some fabrics after ironing.

• If you accidentally forget to test and this happens (we did occasionally) then the product we recommend to make the marks disappear is Amodex®.

• Do not use these pens on the Top of a show quilt as the marks can appear again if the quilt is exposed to low temperatures during shipment or storage. See online manual for details.
