    LOL. can't say I have ever takena sewing machine on a plane.. but one time while vacationing , we kinda over bought on wine... had planned to shopit home.But due to liquer taxes u can't not shop it into the state... and I was NOT leaving 1 and 1/2 CASES of wine behind! * stomping foot* Went down to Target and bought a rolling suite case and a couple of bath towels... and fit the hole case and a half of wine in the case with the towels inbetween to cushion it... got alot of funny looks but they went it thru!! Luckily it was a big enough plane they had suit storage and I coudl store it there... this was long before 9/11... couldnt do that now.......sigh... but the memories... LOL

    Swabbed it for WHAT?
    Residues from explosives. When You are selected they swab all of your stuff. Ive had it done several times.
    I get swabbed all the time going through the airport now...

    You probably look really suspicious. I can just see you behind your mask, feet slapping in your fins, snorkel sticking out behind your ear, lugging two sewing machines. What do you expect? :shock:

    I wondered if you could take machines on a plane. I'm planning a trip and would love to take my sewing machine with me. I will be watching this thread.
