    Amen to this! I have an old singer from my grandmother that has the knee power bar. Given the choice of having that or a needle drop knee bar I would take the Power one any day!! Any sewing machine company reading this?????

    I glued some rubbery, bumpy shelf liner to the bottom of my foot pedal and it stopped the shifting immediately!

    My son made a 3 sided wood frame for my pedal to fit in then screwed it to the floor and it works just great.

    I have the problem of slippage too but at least as aggravating to me is the fact that the Pfaff cord is too short. I guess I have longer legs than most? My sewing counter is only a couple inches taller than most but I am still not comfortable using the pedal both because it slips around and is never as far back under the table as I think it is. LOL Must try using some of the shelf liner. I have vinyl tile on floor at present.

    I use one of those rubber type shelf liners, and it works pretty well, plus I have my second sewing machine under my sewing table, so it can't go far if it decides to wander; otherwise the foot pedal behaves pretty well.

    I put Velcro tape on the Pedal as well as on the floor. Works like charm. Flooring as well as carpet.

    Wish I'd thought of that. I'm about ready to nail my down!
