I bought one at Joanns on sale and was able to use a coupon also. It has some pockets on the side and two separate lift off sections that can hold a lot of stuff. It has an extension handle for the roll around part and each of the additional sections that lift off also have handles. While it solves the problem of transporting the machine across the floor etc. it is still very heavy to lift. I go to a Bee twice a month and I have used it for that. Loading it in and out of the car is my biggest problem. All of my machines are Berninas and quite heavy.

I use something like this with stretch cords to hold it on. It folds up out of the way when not in use.

Love the Tuto's.....great bags, but too large to haul if you have 2 people and a small car. My girlfriend and I have the big Bernina's and found that with the tuto bags we had to add extra padding. The embroidery case holds all the extras we need to take, but we both decided to down size and get the Bernina tote on wheels. This fits our machines likes a glove and can sit on the back seat with a seat belt holding it firmly in place. The embroidery cases will stand on the floor behind the front seats. We now have more room to pack our luggage and purchases. The embroidery case has enough padding for the unit, but I did not feel secure having my machine sit in the xl Tutto case. Perhaps they have added padding....this was 3 or 4 years ago when we were looking at them.
Not all companies have special cases for their machines, but if they do I highly recomend them.

I went to Joann's and bought a case that is great. Have used it for 3 years now and just found out that it is a serger case not a sewing machine case. I am still glad I bought it as it is so big and I can put tons of stuff in it.

I got a rolling tool tote from Harbor Freight. It's olive green but I put a strip of autumn leaf fabric on it. It was
on sale for $20.00!!! Yep, $20.00 and it fits both of my machines with space for supplies...I have a Brother
embroidery machine and a Viking Emerald. I just love a bargain!!! And. since, it's made to carry heady duty
tools in, it should last a life time.

I have 2 cases - the Tutto is for my big machine, which I don't transport very often but I did want to have one made to transport it when it does leave the house. The other is one from Joann's - got it on sale and it is for my traveling machine and I leave it packed with scissors, machine oil, various little tools and needles. I have a small cutting mat that fits in the bag, but if I am traveling I take my ironing/cutting mat in my suitcase which is much bigger.

I would like a rolling tote for my machine also. All of the totes I have seen at JoAnns and Hancocks are too small for my machine. I have a Janome 9700. It is just a little bit too big for those bags. I might have to try the thrift store. I never get good deals like that from there.
