I used a mouse pad on my tile floor for years, but now have a large square of carpet on the wood floor with my stacks of plastic totes behind it to keep it in place. The totes are flat stacking ones that hold my small scraps sorted by color. The extra cord from the foot petal is "tacked" to the table leg with a velcro strap to keep it out of the way.

If you have sewing cabinet with legs then slide a dowel rod in front of the back left and right legs and the pedal won't keep going farther back.

That's why I have Janomes. I have tried every imaginable method to keep my pedal in place. None of them worked for me. With Janome, I use the start/stop button. It is especially easy when piecing as I keep one finger on the button and the other guiding the fabric. After I hit the start button, my hand goes down to help guide the fabric, and when I get to the end it is so easy to move up and stop it. The foot pedals are packed away so I will have them when I trade up.
