I am going to answer my own question...lol I have a pad under my area rug to keep it from slipping and it works really well...all your suggestions made me think of it. I considered cutting off a piece, but it isn't really large enough as it is, so didn't do that. But I am sure it will work...I can not move that rug unless I take up the pad...which is a thick rubber-ish material.

I just ordered a new mouse pad..tried the one I have now and it worked.

I don't know how they would work on solid surface floors but they sure work great on carpet and the price was right. I used the front ones in my car.

I use the rough side of pre-glued gripper strips, attached to the bottom of my sewing pedal and have not chased the pedal on carpet since. I got the idea from a lovely member on this board.
If I were on hardwood, I would buy a tub of "skid-grip" that you paint on the back of hand hooked rugs to keep it from sliding, and dab it on the bottom of the pedal.

The Martelli mats are on sale but shipping is $8.00 flat fee.

I have a cheap rug on the floor and then I put a very heavy brick in front of the pedal. NO MORE MOVING OF THE PETAL.
