Everyone's ideas are great sounding, but call the moving company and see what they have to say about your packing your sewing//quilting items yourself, depending on the answer, I would still take my most valuable things with me in my vehicle, even if I had to rent small trailer one way :D

He took one look at our boxes on moving day and said there was no problem as the boxes were packed very tight and were very solid. So, yes you can be insured if you do the packing, but you should check with the specific moving company. We used Allied.

I understand where you are coming from. I just moved fairly recently and had professionals move us, as they were paid for by my new job. They were very rough with our stuff and quite a few things were broke. My sewing machine was not handled right and somewhere in the move my bobbin case was lost and I had to get another one. Then to top it all off, they told me that all we had to do when we got to the new house that we just had to call them and tell them that we were ready for our belongings and the person on the phone told us that we didn't decide when they delivered the belongings they did. It took them 2 weeks more from when I moved to the house before I got my belongings. You talk about stressful.
I am sure though that you will not have that problem.
Just had to vent, sorry. Jennifer:(

I'm late in offering my opinion, but I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
When I bought my sewing machine, the salesperson told me her husband was in the military, so they moved a lot, and her sewing machine always took a lot of abuse.
If I were in your situation, not only would I pack my own stuff, I might hand carry my machine.
