Does anyone have a good solution for keeping the foot pedal in one place?

JustAbitCrazy

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.

When I go on a retreat (where the floors are usually smooth tiles) I take a piece of rug gripper and put under my foot controller.

I use a piece of that gripper stuff that I line my kitchen cabinet shelves with and that seems to be a great solution.

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.

I think JustAbitCrazy's solution is a great one. I'll have to try it.

Rug gripper works good for me

Martelli makes a non-skid pad for foot pedals - works like a charm!
