I was paper piecing tonight happy as could be when suddenly my long time trusty machine took off at top speed. As I reached for the power cord to yank it out of the wall, I noticed my tiny brown puppy sitting full on the foot pedal looking up at me. He weighs only 1 1/2 lbs., but apparently that's enough for my foot pedal!

I have the same little helper...I have had to hit the power switch many times because Tink has decided to plant her hiney on the controller....

My chow used to always sit on my feet, wherever I was sitting. I got up and walked away from my sewing machine without turning it off and left the room. He must have rolled over, lay on the foot pedal and I came back to a machine with the biggest nest of tangled thread and a lot of work getting it undone. Learned to always turn off my machine. :-)
