I recently placed my sewing machine on a 42″ table so I could try sewing while standing up.
Problem…..foot pedal wouldn’t reach the floor.
Solution:
The attractive yellow thing is 2″ wide tubular polypro Webbing. Webbing is screwed to shelf behind the foot pedal. A flat stick is inserted into Webbing on the floor and elevated for use as a pedal. A binder clip on the floor end of the Webbing allows me to adjust the inserted flat stick.
Device is easier to use than the actual foot pedal.
