    I have the tuttoo and love it!!. My former roll around was a Hemline with embridery case and a case for boards and rulers. It did not hold up well -- the wheels collapsed. Maybe I was overloading it, but I was disappointed since it was not a cheap set.

    welcome from MN. i've used a regular rolling suitcase. i put foam on the insides first, then fabric so the foam doesn't get in the machine. works for me. i don't transport my machine that often.

    I bought a luggage cart at Walmart and strapped my machine to that- worked fine for me. And no one commented on it looking tacky. I would rather spend money on fabric than on an expensive tote.

    I know they're expensive compared to other options, but the Tutto is pretty amazing.

    You don't want to only consider what it looks like, sitting there - is there enough room and extra storage, etc. You want to look at how easy it is to maneuver. The Tutto is effortless. It turns on a dime, goes up and down stairs without falling, can be pushed as well as pulled and you can strap up to 200 pounds on top of it and use it as a luggage cart in the airport.

    I had the Office on Wheels for going to trade shows and it's so easy and lightweight and balanced that I wouldn't even consider another brand. Other people were struggling to get their carts around corners without tipping over and had a heck of a time getting onto escalators and over bumps. I never even had to look behind me - upstairs, downstairs, around corners - and I could sit on it if there were no empty chairs handy. :)

    I've always been impressed by the Tutto totes.
