If you have carpet and really want it to stay in place, use Velcro...the loop sticky side only, using the carpet to lock it into.

I also sew with a jenome and i find it very stressful having to chase the pedal under the table and trying to do strait sewing :(

That's what I do myself. It works great.

Hubby made a box. Three sides and open in back. Put a computer pad inside and I then painted it and put stenciled flowers on it. Now my foot doesn't try to run away.

I've read in several places to try turning it back to front and using it that way. My machine uses a push button so I can't say from experience but it won't hurt anything, sounds like it's worth a try.

No waste and works great. Oh, I have carpet in my sewing room.

Great tip... Thank YOU!
