Looks like the one for my big Elna, but I don't have a problem with it slipping, unfortunately I have carpet in my sewing room and I have about a 2" piece of the stiff part of sticky velcro and it doesn't go anyway, only problem is moving it. LOL

For folks having trouble with slipping foot pedals, I have a neez-ez foot pedal holder that I bought from Nancy's Notions years ago. It works pretty well in holding the foot pedal where I need it and it relieves the stress on your knee.

Maybe I am doing something I shouldn't, I have a Janome 6600 and was constantly chasing the foot petal - so I turned it over and use it upside down. My floor is carpet and it stopped the sliding all over the place. But I prefer to use the button on the machine.

Every machine has its quirks. I bounce around between my Janome, White, Bernina and Singers and each one has it's differences you learn to live with. All the different foot pedals haven't affected my work, so that's what matters. That's part of the fun of sewing on different machines:>

and trust me, you do not want to pay for a replacement foot...

If you are having trouble with the pedal moving, put a length of self stick velcro - the loop part - on the base of the pedal if you are sewing on a carpeted floor. On a wooded floor place a carpet mat underneath the velcro grips the carpet. It works for me. All Janome pedals are the same size and you will get used to it.

My Janome 8000 is the same..I used a idea on here a rug that goes around your toliet..with rubber backing have laminate flooring and chased Forever.. tried the velcro..turning pedal over ect Put the pedal in the hole that goes around base of potty and Eureka stays put...give this a try
