Hey - this does look like a good idea.

I use a case with rollers made for machine transport at Joann's and used a 50% off coupon so it made the price reasonable. I think it's important to carry your machine in a well protected case so it doesn't slide around it it. My has velcro straps to hold it tight in the case.

I use a rolling tote and seat belt it in the back seat. My big machine is heavy too and the wheels do help. Realistically though, if I'm only going to be away for one class, or a weekend, I take a smaller machine. The big girl only goes if I'm away at a retreat longer than 3 days.

I got a great deal on HSN on an extra large rolling tote along with two extra bags for mats and embroidery hoops, etc. I think the three pieces were about $150. Not bad compared to others I priced :thumbup:

My big Quatro came with a very nice sturdy, padded bag and an accessory bag that sits on top. I also have a nice little bag that came with my small travel machine. I strap them in when I drive somewhere.
