My foot pedal has grown legs and is constantly crawling away. Tips?

There must be a simple fix for this. My foot pedal is in a different place every time I go back to it for a few more stitches. I have checked underneath but don'.t see any little feet. It's driving me crazy!
Should I get a dish mat or some other rubber mat to put underneath? The surface below is low carpet, so I am sure that's contributing to the movement.
Let me know if you have ideas for an easy / cheap fix.
thanks!

Double sided carpet tape works. I tried the rubber shelf liner, but on wood floor it didn't work. There is also a thing called Pedal Pad that you can buy from Connecting Thread that is slightly sticky and works. Ask me how I know?

I tried everything, including the "Stitch-Ez" from one of the quilt sites. I finally tried a floor mat (back seat) of a previous car and it works - no more moving of the foot pedal. The mat is made of a heavy, thick rubber material.
