I bought one, but found it made no difference at all. I thought it was because it was being used on carpet, But RuSewing's entry above would tend to discount that theory. I still have not found a satisfactory solution for "pedal creep". :rolleyes:

If your peddle is moving why don't you use the stuff you put on shelfs that is like a rubber material? Don't know the name of it - but dishes will not slide.

I have the pedal stay II. Does not work well on hardwood floors as the back slides along the floor defeating the purpose. Does work well on carpeted floors, however.

I PIF-ed one here on the QB, hoping someone with carpeting could use it, because it didn't really "stay" on our hardwood floor. Ended up gluing a piece of that rubbery shelving material onto the back of my presser foot and that works much better.

I have on. My pedal still slips. I think the piece of stuff that you put under rugs sounds great!

I turned my Pfaff foot pedal upside down...works great without moving around.

I had one for a while. The felt pad separated from the plastic bottom. I loved it when it was together. I tried different glue to repair but no luck.

I got tired of hunting for my pedal under the bed, chair or table. I bought one of these and now I don't have to hunt for my pedal. It stays where it should be. You won't be sorry.

A friend of mine who was having back and leg problems said her PT told her to do this, among other things, to ease the pain when she's sewing. I'm not sure why.

I have the 'I' version & it doesn't work very well - every hour or two I'm chasing it down again to get it back into place. I have an area rug on the wood floor, and it doesn't grip to the carpet very well. So save your $$, as its a product that doesn't work!

I really like the old mouse pad idea, will give that one a try instead.
