I have a tiled floor and the foot pedal seems to slip further and further away throughout my sewing session, until I have to fish it back again. It’s this sitting with one leg extended, sitting at an angle that I’m convinced in a back-breaker for me. So I set out to solve this dilemma and sew a non-slip sewing machine foot pedal pad.
It’s not pretty, but it works, and that’s what matters. My foot pedal stays put now a lot more than it did before. I think this would work if you had a wooden floor or carpets too, not just for tile. Here’s how you can make one – it’s pretty cheap! See the full article and tutorial here.
Thanks for a great project! I am always chasing my foot pedal and this will be great. Thanks for posting it!!!
What a great idea!! I am always chasing my foot pedal across the room!! It reminds me of the time when I first started to work in a little law office. I was sitting at a little metal desk with wheels and every time I returned the carriage it would move a few inches. By noon time, I was practically sitting at my bosses lovely wood desk!! LOL!! It was 1972 and the typewriters weren’t even electric!!! That’s how I feel about my foot pedal. Thanks for the post
