What do you use to keep your foot pedal from moving around?
#11
I also bought a pedal pad and it still slides off. I even have a rubber mat under that and it still slides. I have no found the solution to this problem either yet.
I will try a few rubber bands and see if that helps at all.

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 also use this, but there are different kinds. I use the kind with the bigger "knobs". Seems "stickier" than some of the dollar store kinds. Not sure where I got it, I've had it forever.

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!

I wrap the extra cord to the foot petal around the leg of the table as much as I can to be able to use the petal. Then I put on of those shelf liners folded under it. It never walks, can't go any where cause it is tied up. LOL Have done this for yrs .
