There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

I have some of that spongy shelf liner under my serger to keep it from moving.

That's what I do, too.Originally Posted by quiltedsunshine
Yes shelf liner...double layer will work. Also if you could put a heavy weights over the table leg would help the vibrations. Your machine should also sit over the legs at one end.
I made a sewing mat the sort that has pocket that hang in the front and lined all the back of it with that shelf
liner , it is not something I have to wash often so I hand wash it , it washes OK . Works great for me .

I second shelf liner. I also put this under my sewing table legs to stop the table shifting. Great stuff!
I use one of the padded dish drainer mats, I bought them in Walmart (think about $6?)when I was in U.S. And covered the top with fabric to match the covers for my machines, unfortunately ran out of the fabric which I also brought from U.S. I got a nice new Juki over locker and it doesn't have a matching cover. The mat stops the machine moving.
I use the one intended for the dog's dish. It was cheaper than the dish drainer, and it has grippy material on the back.
I have my Bernina sitting in the well of my Singer sewing desk. I have a piece of carpet underneath it.
