I sure do. Measure the space underneath your sewing table/desk. Buy an inexpensive door mat at the Dollar General, one that entirely fills that space. It can be larger and cut down to size, but not smaller. With that mat in place under your sewing desk, sit where you are comfortable sewing and determine the most comfortable place for your foot to operate the pedal. Leave the pedal in that place, and mark around it with a thin permanent marker or whatever works. Remove the mat and cut the pedal shape out of it on the marked line. I used a rotary blade. When you replace the door mat your foot pedal will fit into the hole and not slide around at all.

Thanks for asking this question. I have the same problem. Even with a piece of shelf gripper stuff under the pedal it still moves. Sometimes it moves under the lip on my table and sticks down, so the machine doesn't turn off when I lift my foot. I might try JustAbitCrazy's idea.
