I have TWO Tuttos - love them. So easy to roll and easy on my back and arthritis limbs! Bought one using coupons and Joanns with free shipping, too. Wal-Mart.com had a sale but my local sewing vac matched their price when I bought the 2nd one (between 2 machines, my embroidery machine, and my Brother Scan-N-Cut its great to have a backup case!). Worth every penny.

I have a large rolling tote I got when I bought my first embroidery machine. The machine is so wide front to back that it won't fit in a regular tote it has to have a huge one. For my serger I found a Thermos rolling cooler at a thrift store that's the perfect size, and being it's a soft sided cooler it's well padded. 6 dollars versus 100 dollars? Oh Yeah.

Since I try to avoid hauling my machine, I did not want to spend too much to replace my old rolling machine tote a few years ago. I found a nice one at HF on sale and used a coupon, too. It came with a matching bag which can be slipped over the handle. It is square, just perfect for holding a pattern or quilt magazine/book along with accessories as needed for classes, quilt retreat, etc. the price was right .

I use a Magna folding handcart and hold things on it with a bungie cord. I do have to take things on and off to load/unload at the car but it is easier for me to lift things in and out of the car that way. I use the cart for a lot of different things (moved bags of mulch etc) and it was less expensive than a sewing machine rolling cart and has many uses. It also folds flat for storage which is a plus. It holds up to 150#. I got mine on Amazon for around $25 but I'm sure they are available other places as well. I love mine

I have several rolling cases and my favorite is one that I bought at Walmart on Black Friday several years ago. I went in the afternoon when most deals were gone. The brand is something like "Everything Mary" . The trolley has a large pocket on the front which I use for surge protector and extension cord. There Re two pockets, one on each end that are about 6 X 7 inches. There are 3 clear zip pockets on the inside of the lid. The top kind of folds down and zips, it is rounded. It is my absolute favorite. I use it at least once a week. I bought it for the princely sum of $25. They had the same deal last year too. I like it lots better than the one I bought from Joann's.

I would recommend the Tuttos. I have the Viking cases and a set from Joann's...both have worn wheels and don't work well anymore. I have the tutto on my Christmas list- the wheels go all directions, too!!
