Is your foot control sliding away from you while sewing? To stop your foot control from traveling away from you, put a piece of Sure-Grip drawer liner underneath it. The gripper material helps to keep it in place on carpet or wood flooring. 
And, if your machine vibrations are driving you nuts, put a piece of it under your machine as well — it will grip tight and help prevent those not so good vibrations.
Sure-Grip drawer liner is readily available a home improvement stores or large supermarkets.























for “Presser Foot on the move”, don’t you mean, foot pedal?
I was having a hard time figuring out why I would put a piece of drawer liner under my presser foot.
The tip of the month is a little misleading. I believe that you are talking about a foot pedal not a presser foot. If I remember correctly, a presser foot hold down the fabric and does not move, on the other hand though, the foot pedal does move and this tip is a good one for the foot pedal.
that is my main complaint about my pfaff machine. the machine is so heavy duty yet the foot pedal is a fly-away plastic. i am constantly chasing it on hardwood floor. Even with my foot on the pedal, i can feel it sliding. i will look for the sure-grip drawer liner - tomorrow! thank u.
Hi Mandy, I am glad this information was helpful!
Keep sewing, Debbie
Thanks Joy! It has been duly noted and corrected! Happy sewing!
Thanks Patti! This has been corrected. Happy sewing!
this is a great tip—- I am now using that shelf liner on many things —- just feel like a dummy that I didn’t think of it!!!

I find that a mouse pad with a wrist support works better for the foot pedal. The wrist support keeps it in place and the entire mouse pad keeps it from moving out of place on the floor.
Marcia, thanks for your feedback! I’m going to try this as well.
