I think that any machine you use a lot and that you take out to classes will end up with a few dings or scratches. That's the reason that I won't take my large Janome that sits in a cabinet out for travelling. I've already managed to put a couple of pin scratches on it by just using it constantly and leaving it at home. I'm sure that it would look even more worn had it gone rattling around the countryside even if it had been secured in my vehicle. I like vintage machines and I know that when I find one in immaculate condition that it just hasn't been used!

So sorry about that. Although you'll probably notice it every time you take it, keep in mind that the good news is that it still works. It could have been a lot harder lesson.
Thanks for reminding us all to make sure our things are secure before taking off.

Sorry to hear about you scratching your new sewing machine
please make a padding to put around the machine, I put mine on the floor board in back seat and put a big blanket around her
that way the blanket covers her up and no one looking inside the car can see that it is a sewing machine
she likes to hide from others

I hate those 1st scratches as well. Yes, on the floor behind your seat or the floor of the passenger front seat is the safest place to transport your machine. Also, treat your machine like a child & don't put it in a trunk or leave it in the car when temperatures are extremely high.
