Not much for sewing on the 301A, mainly for FMQ.
I have a desk here that I'm seriously thinking of converting it to fit the machine on there and I want the foot pedal to be on the side like the 401A in the cabinet because you have more control with the speed and sewing using your knee/leg. With the pedal on the floor, it skids, or slides, or the cat wants to join along, so the knee lever is much better in my opinion.
That is going to be my next project, but I need time to figure it out on customizing this old desk.

Oh yes love the side pedal! I do not like sewing with the little knobby pedal. a FW with a little knobby pedal is coming camping with me though. I do not have another one besides the one on another Singer but it is stuck onto it permanently.
