I have a rug under my sewing table, so I put a strip of the hook side of some stick-on velcro on the bottom of my foot pedal. That pedal doesn't move one bit!

I use the non-skid shelf lining under my rulers so they don't slip when cutting material. I just use a strip horizontally, just enough about a 6x1 1/2" strip. I put the strip where I would place my hand to hold the ruler between the ruler and the fabric. Usually can get a roll of 2 yards for a buck or 2. It's also great for placing under meat/cutting boards on your counter tops so the boards don't slide. Especially, the ones kids sell for school fundraisers, the really thin ones.

For a typical size foot pedal, slipping a used mouse pad under it will keep it from traveling also.

Yes, I have been using it for about a month now when someone else posted the info.

I also have laminate and found that stuff works for awhile and then wads up and is more annoying than having nothing. I'll try the bath mat.

I even have it under my sewing machine and base for my iron. I even have some in my sewing machine travel bag for when I go to a class.

That has been my experience also. I think I will try the bath mat or a mouse pad.

I also use it under my machines; it helps keep them in place

The rubberized shelf lining is great to cut a small piece and place it under your ruler. The ruler will not slip while you are cutting. You can get a whole roll at the $dollar store.

That's a good idea too. I just read a hint of another way to keep that pesky thing still. Just take a wide rubber band (or 2) and wrap it around the pedal. Sounds too simple, but it works.
