I keep a cord set (power cord, cord block and foot controller), set up to test motors and lights I've rewired. I also use it to run machines I've just gotten that have a bad cord set. The controller is one of the electronic ones from Sew-Classic. It works great, has been dropped, knocked around and used quite a bit. No problems with it at all.

I still wish it was made from a heavier material though. I've been tempted to screw a piece of plywood to the bottom of it and add some rubber feet, so it would have some weight and resistance to sliding.

Joe, I add velcro to the bottom and stick it to a board if I can't corral it with a box or something. My Pfaff pedal and my serger pedal both travel too because they're too light so I'm just resigned to a little dancing when I sew...
