Tired the silicone mats, even the Pioneer Woman one that got rave reviews for no slip. Will not stay in place. Moves as soon as I use the pedal. Pedal stays on it just fine though. My husband said he would make me a three sided tray to fit under my sewing table with cut out for the foot pedal. I complained so much about it he finally paid attention to what it was. LOL

Mine wouldn't stay put on carpet, so I finally put some hook velcro on the back. Mission Accomplished!
Perhaps put some loop velcro on your floor, and then the hook velcro on the foot pedal?
Yes, it means sticking it to the floor, but if/when you don't want it there, it will peel off and you can remove any of the gooey-residue with GooGone.
The waffle weave stuff ... skeptical about n it. Never tried it for sewing machine foot pedals, but doesn't seem to keep other things stable for me.

I finally as a last resort, cut my bath mat in half. put where I thought I needed it, went over the floor with a damp paper towel, stepped on it a few times. It has been holding steady for a couple of months. I have vnyal flooring.

What if you got a couple of those Command hooks and installed them on the floor, then hooked the waffle stuff on the hooks? I've never had a problem with sticky residue from the adhesive.
