Thread: What do you use to keep your foot pedal from moving around?

These things are great for all kinds of things. I put them under my machine as well. It protects the surface of the table and no sliding, rather its carpet or wood. And, they are sold at the dollar store so everyone can afford them. You can cut them up and use them under smaller things too like coffee cups.

I'm with sewingsuz. A piece of shelf liner. I just cut a piece off and tossed it on the floor and put my foot pedal on top of it. It is larger than the foot pedal, but it doesn't slide on the floor and the foot pedal doesn't slide on it, so it is perfect.

shelf liner is what works for me. I get a roll a the dollar store. I have low loft carpet on the floor.

I press it up against a leg of a table or shelf liner non slip on base.or sandpaper glued on base if possible.

I just realized I put presser foot in the subject line when I meant foot pedal. Oops. I wonder if a mod can fix that for me.

I don't think I have a solution for you, but this may help someone else.

I had a similar problem - except that my pedal kept getting stuck under my Horn cabinet as I pressed it, so when I got to the end of a seam, it wouldn't stop!

I tried all sorts of things - wedging books and blocks of wood in the gap etc. - until I eventually hit on the idea of a metal L-shaped book end (a plastic one may work, but more likely to break). I simply placed the pedal on the larger side of the book end and it rests against the frame of my cabinet, but is too tall to slide under - hooray!

Mine did the same thing with my Horn cabinet. I'll have to try this!!
