I'm about to get out my hot glue gun and zap the bottom of my foot pedal to keep it from sliding all over! I have tried that rubber stuff you can set wet dishes on...and, it doesn't stop it. I think it is the angle I actually push the pedal with(not sure) and the little boxes I have seen for over $20 at Clotilde look like they actually raise up the pedal-higher then it is now. What do you do??! My toes are tired of searching as I sit in position and ready to put on the gas...and, where's the darn foot pedal?!LOL Skeat

I got those little thingies that are used to to set glass table tops on. I got the idea from our television stand, the top is glass and it sits on little rubbery thingies on the base of the stand.
I bought some and put two on my machine foot and it doesn't move now. :) Sorry, I don't know what they are called, so they are 'thingies' to me. LOL
