I had a similar problem - except that my pedal kept getting stuck under my Horn cabinet as I pressed it, so when I got to the end of a seam, it wouldn't stop! I tried all sorts of things - wedging books and blocks of wood in the gap etc. - until I eventually hit on the idea of a metal L-shaped book end (a plastic one may work, but more likely to break). I simply placed the pedal on the larger side of the book end and it rests against the frame of my cabinet, but is too tall to slide under - hooray! Sharon |
my daughter bought new floor mats for her compact car ,I recycled one of her old ones and put it on the floor for the foot pedal , works perfect.The mat grips by its self and foot pedal stays put..
|
I use a piece of grip-it shelf liner that I left over from lining my kitchen shelves. It works well.

I found a mat at one of the shows, it has ribbed rubber on one side and a piece that fits on your foot pedal, there is also a ribbed wedge that lets you relax your other foot while sewing. It has a tacky piece of carpet beneath the ribbed part and I love it. I went to see if there was a label on it and could not find one. If I find her receipt, I will post the email address for you

For years and years this was a huge problem for me. The best solution I came up that has made me happy for the last 6 years is------I sewing machine that doesn't need a foot pedal. I love, the on/off button. I can set the speed I want and sew away. I also like my sewing machine because it has a scissor button on it. All of these things make me a happy sewing.

Rubber shelf liner works great.

Rubber shelf liner for me. I still have to straighten it out once in a while but not several times a day. More like once a week.

Forgot to mention I have a carpeted floor in my sewing room.
|
I use 2 sided carpet tape. Have a tile floor.
|
A small piece of shelf liner (rubberized kind) works wonders even on carpet.
