I bought a pedal mat from somewhere and it's a complete piece of junk. Not only does the pedal slide around on the mat, the mat slides around on the floor. Is there something better?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What do you use to keep your foot pedal from moving around?

I just use masking tape to tape it to the floor. It works just fine.

I have tile. BUT maybe a throw rug with a rubber backing would help.
Thanks everyone for the ideas!!
Wish I'd thought of that. I'm about ready to nail my down!
If you have carpet, put a strip of Velcro on the bottom, the side with the hooks.
That is exactly what I did and it WORKS!!!!!! Edie

I use a piece of the shelf liner , that rubber kind on my wood floor and it help.

Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
I use a piece of that rubber stuff you put under rugs to keep them in place, I think this shelf liner would be just like it.
That's what I use. It works ok. I'm wondering I'd a coat of fiber-lok would work. That's the stuff that you "paint" on the back of home made rugs to prevent slipping. I have some and if I try it I'll let you know how it works. There is a spray backing called SUPER GRIP that amazon has also. Ratings say it works great as advertised. I might give that a try. Come to think of it if it dries clear it may work on rulers and other slippery tools. Stay tuned..
