I use a thick rubber band to hold mine down because my extension table will still fit onto my Bernina with the band in place. Otherwise I'd use a loooong piece of Scotch tape to hold it tightly in place.
With both the rubber band and tape, you can easily remove them when the bobbin needs to be changed or you are sewing a diagonal seam.
A second reason for using the tape or band is because the metal of the throat plate on any machine I've worked with, in class or personally, does NOT accept the sticky on the notepads for more than a few minutes.
This is still a cheapest and most efficient trick around; I've been using it and promoting it for decades. Literally.

I use command strips also. They are perfect for keeping a perfect seam and are so easy to remove. I could not sew a straight seam for anything until I got these. I tried everything else and nothing works as good as these!
