I have a thin grooved rubber mat. It still wanders a little bit but it's easy to catch. I think DH glued a piece of the grooved rubber on the bottom so it's like nesting seams when the pedal sits on the mat.

I used a piece of that rubbery fabric you buy for shelf paper and works great. Has a waffle look to it. Think I got it at WalMart.

If your foot control is on carpet, try velcro with the rough side down, they make sticky kind, my foot pedal does not move, have to pick it up if I want it moved.

That means where my foot pedal is for any project moves around, so no "permanent" solution is possible.
Right now my DH is helping me quilt a 7x8' landscape quilt with a lot of appliques on it and I have tables behind, beside and in front of me to hold the "roll" while I sew down and applique. The tables are fairly high so I am standing while sewing which helps keep the pedal where is belongs. |
mouse pads work well too and are cheap.
