I have the Hinterberg Stretch Machine Quilting Frame. And it came with a set up for the foot pedal. It sat on a platform and there was a handle like a bike brake that I squeezed to control the speed. Are you sure there isn't some option like this for your frame? I'm afraid making a super long cord isn't going to fix the issue. You will still have to move the foot control, and I would think the cord would get in the way.

Peg, I made handles for my table top frame with PVC pipe, purchased just the electric cord without the foot from a sewing place and the 'switch' I installed in the handles was the on/off switch from a torch lamp. Here are the pics. [ATTACH=CONFIG]358245[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]358246[/ATTACH]
The cord comes out one back corner for the electric and the machine. Worked really well for me. The switch was a dimmer type switch so it was on/off and speed. Get on some of the quilt machine sites on Yahoo and there are lots of different ideas to make this happen.

I think you want Nifty Grips - they convert your foot pedal into hand controls:

This is exactly what I use on my Janome on a frame. Just research which kind of plug in your machine has and match that to the model of Grace control you need. If your machine is listed in their compatability list, you're ahead of the game 
It comes with velcro straps so you can put in on the handle bars of a frame, or you could put it on your machine - on the handle maybe?

Could you have someone mount the foot control on a table leg so you can use it as a knee control? One of my old sewing machines had a knee control----------and I loved it.

Scrap my response. I didn't pay attention to the fact you are working on a long frame.
