I can't keep my petal still either. first thing I know my leg is straight out, trying to find it. LOL

I have non-skid pad under my pedal. It is ribbed to hold the pedal and is large enough for a clear plastic "lift" that I rest my left foot on when I sew. It helps even out the hips.

I have a rubber backed bath mat works good for me
:D

Someone (one the "main" forum) said they found round circles of that rubbery, squishy shelf-liner stuff at a dollar store ??? It fit right under her foot pedal and kept it in place.

Everyone has such great ideas! I think I am going to have to try that rubber mat of carpet...I think my prob is there is a shine finish on my concrete...which makes the sliiiiiide go easily:)I have actually one of those round rubber jar openers under it. It is just like that rubber you use to set wet dishes on. Still slides! You should see all my activity to try pulling it back to place while holding my fabric in place to sew!LOL Now, I don't have any of those rubber backed rugs here....I think my mom has one in her guest bathroom.....you think she'd miss a piece?LOL I'd just remind her that the last guests could have taken towels like so many others....who knew they wanted a piece of her rug:)LOL Skeat

I am so glad someone brought up this topic. We have spanish tile floors and between the pedal slipping away and the pussycats pushing it, well, you can imagine the circus!

The hot glue sounds like it may work on little paws - ha ha ha ha

You can get this rubber stop stuff you can use to layer the bottoms of cupboards and drawers. I get it at Walmart. It's fabulous! I also have a piece cut to the size of my bread machine. When the machine is moving it can easily slide off the counter. This stuff works great! I use to have hardwood floors at Mum's place and Trevor's condo and so that rubber lining worked like a charm. At the moment my new sewing room has industrial carpet.. (that will be removed as soon as possible... laminate flooring will replace it and so much easier to keep clean). I will use that rubber lining again then

for your floors I am not sure! The other answers sounds good!! DH (I have wood flooring) nailed a block of wood in front of the pedal...now it can't go but so far!

:roll: Would you believe I purchased one of those matts that is suppose to keep your pedal in place. Worked great because it has fuzzy carpet like center & came with velcro hook strip to put on the bottom of your pedal. Now I got this so when I took my machine to quilt group I would not have to chase it across the tile floor. Problem is the carpet area, the glue is letting go so while it is in the trolley case it & the foot slide side ways exposing sticky glue which is beginning to get outside the intended area. I keep readjusting it but it just moves again. Think googone would get rid of the glue? Or if I put another kind of glue under it, that the carpet/pedal would stay in place. I don't take the pedal loose because the velcro is so strong it just wants to pull the carpet up too. :shock: :lol:

I think this is the right one . I started the thread about no more chasing foot control. Annie http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/20087.page
