Non-stick foot pedal
Attach a couple adhesive-backed floor protectors to the bottom of your foot pedal to keep it from sliding. They're made to keep furniture from scratching floors, and you can find them in home improvement or dollar stores.

Good idea. Never thought of attaching it to the foot pedal. Then it is always ready to go.
Thanks.. :thumbup:

I use double sided mounting tape. It is like a soft piece of thin foam with sticky on both sides. The bottom of my foot pedal is slightly recessed and it fills the recess enough to extend past the lip and attach to the floor. We had it on hand and it has done a great job. DH tried to kick it out of the way the other day as we were moving things around and it didn't budge. Ann in TN
