I bought a tall suit case with wheels and a tele-scoping handle at the Salvation Army 1.99 and cut 1/2 x1/2 inch slats screwed them to the inside to the back and the sides then attached a wire shelve cut to fit So now its easy to put mach.in the bottom fab.on top and I can hang notions from the wires All for $3 -I had to buy a box of U shaped brad nails to secre the wire shelf

I found a rolling cooler that is soft sided in case I need to take my Viking out. Done usually take it out and yes, I put it under the seatbelt in the back seat if I do take it out. I bought a small, light-weight machine for travel. I'm in Florida right now and have the "baby" machine with me. Works great

I have a little fold-up luggage carrier that I set my machine on and then strap it in with a bungee cord. I only take my 440 out if I need zig zag or quilting for a class. I have a soft Featherweight case (bought through an ad in a quilt mag) that I use most of the time. It has handles that make it very easy to carry. I think it was $40.00. I like it much better than the boxy one the FW comes in. The input to the question was interesting to read and helpful.

Machine fits in it and room for extras around the machine, like fabric, thread and such. Will see if they still sell it and post pic if I can find it.

I purchased my case on wheels from Hancock Fabrics. I gave $49 for it. Try checking them out on there web site. JoAnn Fabrics also have them, but not usually on sale as they are from Hancocks. Check them out on the Web. I have had mine for 5years. Been to a lot of classes and retreats. The one I have, has an outside and an inside zippered pockets.
