    Get a case that protects against vibrations, I transported my Bernina 440 QE in the car trunk once in the provided carrying case and I suspect that the vibrations damaged the motherboard which had to be replaced ($1,000). The only way that Bernina leaves my house now is in the original Bernina shipping box.

    I use one of my smaller suite cases for my featherweight.

    I bought a rolling carrier from JoAnn's and it was okay, but then I found a scrapbooking rolling carrier that is much sturdier and my machine fits great in it.

    At our quilt guild show they had a Tutto sewing machine carrier and I really liked it. I didn't win, but decided it would be a great Mother's Day gift. I got the 20".

    I used it it for the first time last weekend at a class. It was so great. I had room for my Janome 3160, small lamp, small electric fan, and all of the sewing stuff I needed for the class. The maneuverability was the best part since it has spinner wheels.

    I bought a $25 rolling tool caddy from Harbor Freight. It's sturdy, heavy-duty, and affordable. My Brother 1500 (which is a big machine) fits inside perfectly. The tote has a pull-up handle, wheels, and pockets for rulers, rotary cutters, etc.

    I've had it for about 3 years now.

    I bought one from Home Depot (after seeing one that a friend had) a few years ago - it was $50, red and named Husky. It is super sturdy and fits my small Janome - even with it's hard case on it. Would highly recommend.

    I'm going to check this out and see if our local HF down the road has it.

    Wow, thanks for all the recommendations! Now I just need to decide which one works best for me.

    I just ordered the folding cart from Sports Academy. Thanks Mckwilter. I tote a lot of items and this is just what I need. Also great to keep in the car trunk to tote groceries in the house all at once . Free shipping today at Sport Academy online. I saved $11.
    I love my life!
