    Hi,
    I bought the black Babylock wheeled case for my Elegante2, the machine fits in the large wheeled one and the other bag that hooks onto the handle of the big one, is for the embroidery unit. I carry my emb. unit in the hard suitcase it came in and use the other case for my stuff. My new Crescendo fits in the large bag, also......wasn't positive it would as it's bigger than my Symphony machine was, but luckily it does!! Just fits, but it works!
    It is so much easier for me to lift it out of my car and wheel it inside, not sure I could carry it too far.

    I have a Tutto Sewing Machine case with wheels. It was expensive but my Bernina is worth it.

    It would depend on the size. My Ruby I couldn't afford to buy both the arm tote and the machine tote so I just got the are tote so that it was protected. Then I traded it in for the Diamond Deluxe and got the new luggage with it and it also came with an arm tote so that just sits in the closet; I'd love to sell it. If the machine is small enough you might be able to get away with one of the totes from Hancocks or Joanns. I'd make sure though that it had the double carrying straps on it along with the extendable handle. My first one didn't and it was hard to carry on the stairs. They have them on sale alot plus coupons. I'd at least make sure the arm is protected because most machines come with a hard shell. For my Ruby I got a luggage carrying rack to strap it and the arm tote to that made it easier to get into the store, etc. I know the totes are expensive, but for most, compare it to what you paid for your machine and how much it'd cost to replace or repair if if it got dropped. At home I leave it all together because I can park the arm out of the way. The only time it comes off is if I'm doing something that I need to use bed of the machine for like arm holes or quilting

    Mine came with the carrying case, roller bag, and embroidery module case. Maybe you could find one on ebay, if yours didn't come with it? They are sized perfectly for the units.

    I have 2 machines aJanone 6600 and a Janome 11,000. The investment in the tutto bag ( which I ave in the large size which will hold either machine) is very well worth it. You've already spent several thousands on these machines what is 2-3 hundred to properly, safely transport them?

    IMHO
