Thread: Seeking recommendations for a rolling carrier

This is what I use with bungee cords to hold the sewing machine on it. It folds flat when not in use,

At the time I purchased my carrier about fifteen years ago there were no hard sided ones. I pack all my fabric around my machine then anything else that will fit. I feel by the time all the items I have in there my machine is very well protected.

In my case I think it's lazy springs or maybe just bad manufacturing tolerances. The little tabs don't withdraw all the way when I press in the button that should pull them back. I have to hold the button with one hand and reach down with the other hand to poke the plastic tabs back in on each side so I can slide the handle down. So far it hasn't actually broken (I only use it about once every other month or so) and I'm just babying it along and hoping for the best! The rest of the case is fine, it's just the handle that's questionable.

I have a few things I want to pick up from Harbor Freight, I'm going to take a look at what they have. I have a handful of vintage machines that weigh a ton and didn't come with a case so I can use extras!

I always strap my machine into the seat belt. If I have a lot of things to transport I use my wagon.
mostly I use my large tote. http://www.landsend.com/products/ext...-bag/id_232440

I love my Tuttos. I have a medium size one I bought for my FW, but I kind of wore it out, so I bought the Serger Tutto and it fits my FW even better than the medium Tutto. I have an XL Tutto for my Janome 8900 for when I have to take her somewhere.

Where do you find info on the Tuttos, please.

You can search online. Amazon, Tutto has their own online shop, and Sewingmachinesplus (http://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/tutto.php) are a couple of places. It looks like right now Sewing Machines Plus may have the best prices with free delivery, but shop around.

Dakota Rose, since you live in a large city, I would also check with either your LQS or a sewing machine store near you. I bought my serger bag (using for my FW) from my Janome dealer and one of my others from my LQS at the time.

I use a plastic tub (waterproof!) that I fill with my supplies. The fabric I carry provides lots of padding. I then put the tub on s folding luggage carrier.

When I lived in Iowa, I had to haul my machine and supplies through rain and snow. No soft luggage for me!
