Looks like the one for my big Elna, but I don't have a problem with it slipping, unfortunately I have carpet in my sewing room and I have about a 2" piece of the stiff part of sticky velcro and it doesn't go anyway, only problem is moving it. LOL

For folks having trouble with slipping foot pedals, I have a neez-ez foot pedal holder that I bought from Nancy's Notions years ago. It works pretty well in holding the foot pedal where I need it and it relieves the stress on your knee.

Here's the link:

Is there any differenz between the brands besides the size of the plug? Or in other words, wouldn`t it be possible to put on a Bernina foot a Janome plug??

Maybe I am doing something I shouldn't, I have a Janome 6600 and was constantly chasing the foot petal - so I turned it over and use it upside down. My floor is carpet and it stopped the sliding all over the place. But I prefer to use the button on the machine.

Every machine has its quirks. I bounce around between my Janome, White, Bernina and Singers and each one has it's differences you learn to live with. All the different foot pedals haven't affected my work, so that's what matters. That's part of the fun of sewing on different machines:>

that is what I have on my Elna...I have a size 9.5 foot, so yes it is tiny, but I have vintage machines that have way smaller foot pedals!

and trust me, you do not want to pay for a replacement foot...

Does that mean there are replacement feet? I couldnt find anything and contacted my dealer in UK. Will see what he comes up with.

If you are having trouble with the pedal moving, put a length of self stick velcro - the loop part - on the base of the pedal if you are sewing on a carpeted floor. On a wooded floor place a carpet mat underneath the velcro grips the carpet. It works for me. All Janome pedals are the same size and you will get used to it.
