I have a desk custom made for my 301. A double drawer on the right side is a place to store the machine. A cut out of the top lifts out to put the machine level with the top of the desk. The cord comes up a small cutout at the right. The foot pedal is mounted in the cavity with a wooden lever to make it a knee control. I have loved that desk for 65 years.
The thing I like best about it is the large flat area to the left of the needle. I lift up the long extension table of the machine to access the bobbin.
The cut out of the top is just about one inch to the right of center. It has worked wonderfully for me.
