I have one of those rubber floor squares, intended for workshop floor. Can get them at the home improvement stores. I placed it with double sided tape on my tile floor, then foot pedal on the square. Wouldn't need the tape on carpet, as they are heavy enough to stay in place. No damage to the floor, and so far it's working.

Had to laugh.... such a variety of ideas. I have the same problem with my 6600, but the permanent solutions made me laugh. The floor in my quilting room is painted wood, rather slippery, and not mine to change. BUT I use fold down/up tables and may use only two if it is a small project, or 4 (and the ping pong table if it is large. 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.

I often quilt bare foot. turn the foot pedal upside down, your toes curl over the ridge of the pedal, it takes care of a lot of the problem, but you can also glue some of the shelf liner to the top (now bottom)to help the little bit of crawl that might still happen.
