If you sewing floor is carpet put a strip of industrial self adhesive velcro (hook side) on the bottom of the petal. It won't budge. I have to use both hands to remove my pedal from the carpet. For bare floors I put a heavy door stop behind the pedal. I always wear some type of shoe in my house and expect others to wear shoes when they are here. No one has to remove their shoes to visit me unless it is obvious they need to. :-)
