Do you have a sewing machine case on wheels?

I also have one I bought from JoAnn's. I used a gift certificate from MIL so it was free for me! It is a pretty paisley fabric and I've gotten a lot of complements on it. It has two side pockets into which I can put my foot pedal and walking foot or BSR (I have a Bernina). There are also pockets inside for other stuff, one of which hold my knee lift perfectly. There is plenty of room inside for my machine, a small binder for class notes, and some fabric. It also came with a small case that holds my Bernina attachment case, my machine manual, and a plastic box in which I carry notions such as awl, seam ripper, scissors, etc.
The one problem I've had is that it came with small plastic wheels that broke. Luckily, my DH is very handy at fixing things. He removed the wheel assembly and attached a wooden base to the bottom. On that base he mounted a couple of larger rubber tires. It's super strong now. I can carry my purse and pull my machine and all accessories in one trip to classes. Love it.

I love my Tutto machine on wheels bags . . .the XL size fits my Bernina 780 perfectly and the medium size holds either my Bernina 350 class machine or my featherweight (though a bit large for the FW). They also have a very large embroidery module bag, but it doesn't have wheels. I rarely take my module but I do use the bag to store the module in when not in use. The one negative about Tutto are the wheels . . .they're "just" OK. I wish they were more like the wheels on my four wheel carry on luggage that turn on a dime. Instead, you need room to turn corners and that room isn't always available. It's especially noticeable when hauling my 780. Fortunately, I rarely take that machine to class.

I bought the three container stack wheely at Joann's last year, on sale, of course, and it is great.....it is always packed and ready to go with all of its own gadgets and gizmos and my traveling sewing machine.....monthly bees, classes, whatever.....

I bought a Tutto for my Janome 11000SE, it was so darn heavy and wide that I couldn't carry it up the stairs from the basement. I had to bring the case up and then the machine and load it upstairs. Now I have the 15000 and I haven't even thought about putting it in the Tutto, I'd need a forklift. Tutto quality is great, but I'm not sure it's worth the money.
