I bought a Kenmore at Sears for $199 (you can buy cheaper) and, once I got used to it, have been pleased with it. I needed a case for it so I used my coupon at Joann's and picked up one of those soft-sided containers on wheels (sort of like luggage). It's a multi-use item either for crafting or sewing, etc. but a sewing machine fits in perfectly, plus leaves room for tools, thread, etc. around the sides of the machine and in the outside pockets.
