Could you not put it on the back seat and use the seat belt to restrain it? . In message , Taria writes

I put mine on the floor between the seats. It can't move much there, especially if I push the front seat back against it.

The floor in the back seat is usually safest for machines...

You do want it secure, though. Consider that in a 30 mph crash, which is not very fast - not freeway speed - the car stops, but the sewing machine continues moving forward at 30 mph. That seat had better be well-anchored and substantial.
