Date: 11/30/10 5:34 PM Until I get carpet in my sewing room, my peddle is on hardwood and I'm constantly chasing it around. It won't stay put!!!! Those devices I've seen in some catalogs, would they work on hardwood? I'm about ready to duct tape this sucker to the floor! |

Date: 11/30/10 7:39 PM For a carpeted floor, just stick some Velcro under it. Works great!
I used the blue gum, for sticking posters on a wall, to hold them on hardwood. |
