How many of you take your Real machine with you? I haven't been to a class or 'sit n sew' for a few years. The last couple of sit 'n sews I attended, however, I had just bought a featherweight and brought that because it is so much lighter than my bernina. My sister-in-law, who lives in SF takes her all the time and I thought that was a grand idea. The reaction from the quiltie ladies in my neck of the woods overwhelmed me a bit (I can be a bit on the shy side), and I'm hesitant to do that again, even though I am 'ready' to attend the monday morning sessions again.
Does anyone here use a "traveling" machine, instead of their heavyweight ones?
I bring a little machine that only weighs 10 lbs and I can easily pack it in a rolling case. I am hesitant to bring my "good" machine to classes because it has to ride in the car and I worry about the computer in it and the bumps in the road.
