I have tried the rubber shelf paper. In fact I've tried several of them. I am currently using the heavier duty type. Relatively thick. I am using it on a concrete floor and this time it seems to be working.
Good Luck

I went to the dollar store and got some sticky back velcro and added a couple of the rough side strips to each of my foot petals. I have carpet and they don't move unless I pull them up and move them. I love it!! :D :D

DH just left for his man cave to get the name for what he gave me to use on my foot. It DROVE ME CRAZY until I rolled some of his carpet sticky stuff on the backs to keep them in place. I rolled this on the back of my big bernina foot, let it dry overnight, and put my machine foot where I wanted it to STAY. That sucker hasn't moved since.
DH is back. It's Great Grip Non Stick Rug Coating made by Flexible Products Co. He says it may not be made anymore but surely someone still makes this wonderful stuff.
Unless I absolutely have to move my foot, I am NOT touching it. It says it will restick but I am not taking any chances.
Thanks, DH!

Now it fits but the foot won't depress all the way. What a flippin' pain. I guess I'll try the velcro. I would have bolted the darn thing down to the floor by now if I didn't move the machine to quilt.

I bought that rubbermaid shelf and drawer liner. Put a piece under the foot pedal and Wow. No more skid.

Thanks for this recommendation for Pedal Sta Dolphyngyrl! :thumbup:
I checked out prices for the Pedal Sta and the best I could come up with was at JoAnn's online store. After applying the 40% off one item coupon (code EDFX239, valid through August 27th) the price came out to only $8.39. But of course, after tax and shipping that upped it again to $15.49. Can you all believe how much that inflates the cost these days?! Still a cheaper price than the other sites i found and one I gladly paid to be able to stop doing the pedal hunt whenever I sew.

I think I had read on here one time that a lady was using a bathroom rug, one that fits in front of the toilet, put the foot pedal in the sq.cut out. I don't know how this works It sounded like a good idea when I read it. As for me my husband made me a slanted footholder like a gas pedal and I have the rubber on the bottom and that helps on my laminate floor.If your machine is facing the wall I have a flat board against the wall in front of the sewing pedal at my serger. I hope this is understood and not too confusing.
