either the rubber shelf stuff or the large spaced rug liner. I prefer the rug liner. You can buy 6 inches at Joanns and it will only cost you $2.50 (much less with coupon). Since it is 54" wide, I can use the extra pieces under plants and vases. I keep a smallish square with my baking bowls and use it under a bowl that I am hand beating (no sliding around).

Foot pedal stablizer rubber contact
I use that grippy shelf lining stuff. This isn't the brand I have, but it's the same type of stuff: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/stor...d=drawer+liner

I have a wood shelf where it sits on my sewing tablle. I used 3m velcro stickies...not perfect, but it works pretty well. For my Sweet 16 my hubby built a foot rest which I covered with batting & fabric, stapled the velcro down and used stick on velcro for the bottom of my foot. It works amazingly

I use Velcro hook glue to the back of my foot feed on carpet. It will not move! I do use the heavy duty Velcro. I have moved my foot many times and he Velcro still sticks. On a wood or tile floor, You could probably glue the Velcro to the floor and the bottom of you foot feed and it would stick.

Due to my short height, my feet will not reach the floor if the chair height is at the right height for my arms ergonomically. So my DH found an old computer printer stand which is slanted downward and has a lip on the bottom edge to keep the foot pedal from sliding down. A piece of sticky shelf liner is under the foot pedal as well. That was quite a few years ago, and it comes with me to quilt retreats, too. A happy solution!
