I've finished my second machine mat today, trying to pretend I can do quilting at the same time, well I made sandwich. I'd already got a large fleece tablecloth underneath that I bought years ago but I wanted something that I could stick pins in with ease and find them again.
The bit forward of the machine has three layers of batting inside and across the front, which I think will take pins nicely. I didn't bother adding pockets on this one, I just wanted a bit of dangle plus I didn't have enough fabric. The 'quilting' is willy nilly to make sure the batting didn't migrate anywhere.
I clock off at 4 so didn't get time to take a picture of the one for the little Passport which does have pockets in.
I do have some strips of fabric left and I know at least one has a complete birdie in. Happy to post if anyone can make use of them to cut up.
