Keeping Your Foot Pedal in One Place

[@TJC1315]

The velcro works like a charm! Thank you so much! My pedal was sliding all over my rug previously. It was so discouraging especially being a newbie to sewing. Now with the velcro, my pedal doesn't budge. A great and cheap fix!

[@naomim5015]

My foot pedal and I have been fighting for quite a while. I think this will bring peace. Thank you!

[@startbline]

It worked! I used the velcro adhesive dots I had on hand and put them on the little round legs on the bottom of my foot pedal and it held perfectly in place on my area rug!!!! I'm so excited. . . Is it weird to be so excited about something like this? MANY THANKS LAURA!

[@Saucyakld]

Great idea Laura, I used an off cut of drawer slide mat, but I keep forgetting to pick it up so hope this method will hold on carpet!

[@SewVeryEasy]

It works for me I hope you give it a try!

Hi Quilting Queen. GREAT TUTORIAL. You saved me from a disaster. I had to go under the table hunting for the foot pedal. I have a tile floor and the pedal seems to pedal along. With your PRECIOUS advice I will be able to sew without bumping my head on the edge of the table. That was so kind of you to share this genius tip. YOU ARE EXCEPTIONAL. 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing and caring.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Hahahaha I know that head wack all to well:) You are very welcome:)

[@Knittyneeds]

💕💕💕

[@narelleworks8448]

Knittyneeds sorry for laughing but only because I know the indignity of a lost foot pedal. Thank you Laura for solving that problem!

[@Knittyneeds]

Narelle Works thanks for making me smile.

[@lindamendoza2792]

What a good idea. Now I can put my mouse pads to use. Instead of a big coaster or to place cold items. Have a good week.

[@SewVeryEasy]

glad I could help:)

[@startbline]

I've tried everything but this with no real luck. This really sounds like a winner! I purchased an area rug not to long ago in hopes that it would at least slow the little runaway down a bit, and it did but I am still chasing it more than I want to. Tape, shelf lining, and silicone mats are just a few of my tried but not true attempts at fixing the problem. The only thing I didn't try was gluing it to the tile floor...I will let you know how it goes!

[@seamlesscreations]

love this idea! I've been battling with my foot pedal for a long, long time!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Now you can win that battle!

[@grammaali3462]

2 👍🏻👍🏻. Great tip! Better idea than a peddle pad. Less to take with you when you're traveling with your machine. Thank you Laura!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

thanks:)

[@grandmamimidabrowski6022]

What a fantastic idea. I've tried numerous methods, but this sounds like it will keep my foot pedal in place on my carpet. Thanks. Marge Dabrowski

[@SewVeryEasy]

It works for me! hope you give it a try

[@Prestwoodtwo]

Genius Laura. In exchange 'my hint for something that might help' nothing to do with sewing, is to use nail varnish to identify things like keys on a key ring. You can buy small cheap nail varnish in lots of colours. 'So very easy, to find the right one! Judy

[@SewVeryEasy]

good idea! thank you:) I just might do this!

[@irenewarren1371]

BRILLIANT IDEA Thank you Irene

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks Irene!

[@cfleyfel855]

Thank you for that idea....sometimes I feel like "why didn't I think of that" and this was one of those moments!

[@SewVeryEasy]

sometimes it because of desperation!

[@angelesrabaneda6536]

Hola Laura , tus ideas como siempre son rompedoras , ahora mismo se las voy a poner para que no se derlicen más , un saludo desde España

[@SewVeryEasy]

Hello from Canada and thank you:)

[@newbeequilter]

"Put your foot down" - Now there's a phrase I remember hearing as I grew up. It meant once you decide where you're going, keep your stance of walking that way and don't let someone knock you off balance in your decision of where you intend on going in life. In the future, every time I use the foot pedal on my sewing machine I'll be thinking of this video and perhaps hearing your voice cheering me on to tackle some challenging craft project. These Velcro and mouse pad tips are such a great solution to this common problem of a loosey-goosey, runaway foot pedal. It kind of makes one wonder why anyone would spend $15-20 for a manufactured product when this common sense one (less than $5) will do the trick. And . . . it's another "Atta Girl!" for Laura.

[@SewVeryEasy]

yes that is what my mother would say too!

[@wilycat5290]

Very clever! Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@schellymay3237]

Where can I find the quilt pattern for the quilt behind you??

[@SreevalliSanthosh]

Madam I’m from India and love the way you explain the things... Could you please suggest me which sewing machine is suitable for me as a beginner?

[@SewVeryEasy]

a Sewing machine it's like buying a car it's a very personal thing on what you like. But I can recommend is that you buy from a local shop where you can get the support and help that you need. They can also recommend the best machine for your budget.

[@SreevalliSanthosh]

SewVeryEasy thank you so much madam.

[@karenmyers3444]

Excellent! Will solve my problem perfectly. Thankyou.

[@MonikaJordan411]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@gerim3308]

I love your video's and would love to have a thread box such as the one behind you in most videos. please demonstrate this with where to purchase one like it. Thanks, Geri

[@SewVeryEasy]

It is a beauty! however it is an old store display

[@kathyspeevack6096]

Off the current topic, but I have a question about the mat on your table. I have the same one and it has wavy areas. I even saw one in use in a quilt shop with the same issue. Have you had this problem and if so, do you have a solution?

[@SewVeryEasy]

No not yet but I will let you know if I do:)

[@chukulor]

que buena idea gracias Laura

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks:)

[@debjacobson9800]

Thanks Laura 🧡

[@reneewoudenberg9462]

Laura, I have a question that I have not found a solution to, hoping that maybe you have the answer. I always watch your blogs and have learned how to sew alot from you. The question: HOW CAN YOU KEEP THE THREAD IFROM FLOATING EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OF STATUS CLING? IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. Thank you, Renee in Oregon

[@mollysmith6055]

Great tip! I use grippy shelf liner cut into a little mat to go under my wandering pedal. Now do you have a tip for how to keep your pedal cool? :) I get a serious case of hot-foot when I'm sewing a long time.

[@SewVeryEasy]

lol something for me to look into!

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

Great way to use those old mouse pads! Thanks Laura!

[@SewVeryEasy]

yes and a lot of company's give them away!

[@sharonmathewson6819]

Super Idea!! my foot pedal travels more than me! Not any more!

[@SewVeryEasy]

lol you should charge it traveling fees!

[@joycekumar4782]

Madam where to keep our heel on the footer on raised side or the other side when we use the same while sewing?😊

[@SewVeryEasy]

I was taught the heel is on the lower side the toe on the high side..just like a gas pedal:)

[@frankjanvari8650]

[@jcsbaby]

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

your welcome:)

[@Trayne1837]

Please don't laugh but I have never used the pedal this way with the low side toward you .....That's right I have always put the high side toward me ...instead of using my toes to push down .......I place my heel on the top and push down with my whole foot..........I have never had the pedal to slide doing it the way. I think my Aunt taught me to do it this way

[@dijones2441]

I'm going to try this technique...omg all the years of run-a-pedals and the lame fix it jobs I've done and I learn two awesome tips in one day...so you're not silly at all 😃

[@SewVeryEasy]

I have an old machine that I sew with one toe!

[@christookey4048]

I turn my pedal upside down! this seems to work with me!

[@SewVeryEasy]

really! I will have to try that:)

[@sheremy428]

Thanks sweetheart
