Check out this You Tube tutorial by the Crafty Gemini. Fast, easy, and it really works. I was going to make one for both of my machine then it dawned on me that I can only sew with one foot at a time. Duh!

I have wooden floors and use two pieces of Velcro. I've been using it for 2 years and it is still going strong and works better than shelf liner, which didn't work for me.

Someone recently posted that they bought one of those plastic square (at the discount store) used to remove hot items from the oven. I think it had dots like dimple fabric.

What a great idea. I too, think that the roll at the end of the pad does the trick. Definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing.

I hot glued the shelf non stick to my sewing pedals. It works pretty good. I have laminate flooring.

This is what works for me. The shelf liner makes an actual "sling" from one foot of the table to another one. The pedal sits in the sling so that some of it is under the pedal.

I have an Eldredge Two Spool that has a very different kind of pedal. There is a "wall" on the left side to bump my foot against. I can always find it. And there is a small projection to the left of that so that my left foot can sit on that and hold everything in place. Why don't they still make foot pedals like that?

I place the pedal up against a leg of a table or a brick. I found this worked better than the shelf fabric.

I've had a couple of those stabilizers. Neither worked. Some on this board have used oven liners or the nubby shelf liners and say they have worked.
