This is why I love my machines with the knee pedals. That being said, here is a picture of 2 of my pedal "hacks." The one on the left is screwed to the wood with sheetrock screws and the one on the right is attached to a mouse pad with brads- those paper fasteners where you bend the wings over.

I think JustAbitCrazy's solution is a great one. I'll have to try it.

This is one of the best tips I have read. Here I was thinking you were going to say put the hook side of Velcro on the bottom of the pedal, but your way is ingenious.
Thank you so very much for sharing. |

Iwas skeptical about these when our LQS got them in but decided to try it. It is amazing. Foot peddle does not move at all.

I sure do. Measure the space underneath your sewing table/desk. Buy an inexpensive door mat at the Dollar General, one that entirely fills that space. It can be larger and cut down to size, but not smaller. With that mat in place under your sewing desk, sit where you are comfortable sewing and determine the most comfortable place for your foot to operate the pedal. Leave the pedal in that place, and mark around it with a thin permanent marker or whatever works. Remove the mat and cut the pedal shape out of it on the marked line. I used a rotary blade. When you replace the door mat your foot pedal will fit into the hole and not slide around at all.

That rubber mesh they sell for shelf liners. I found at dollar store.

Fantastic ideas for a nagging problem I have battled for years. That grippy rug stuff never was a solution for me at all. At last I'll get control of this control thingy! Thanks!

Also, one of my Pfaff foot pedals works better when I turn it upside down and it doesn't move. Crazy, right? |
