Only professional move we did they took the salt & pepper shakers off the dining room table and didn't put tape or anything over the holes...then packed them in the same box with the stereo equipment!
I would take my machine/machines in the trunk of my car and I like the sorting/bagging suggestions for ahead of time. BUT don't re-injure yourself. Do it in stages, do the most important stuff (to you) first, then do the others in rank of importance, so if energy/time get in the way you're covered somewhat.
Also you might want to check about getting the extra insurance. In days or yore, when dinosauers still roamed the earth, the standard moving insurance was by the pound and not very much. I would talk to both the movers and your own insurance co.about a rider for fabric, etc or really anything valuable. Good idea on the jewelry, that should also go with you.
We also had problems on the unload end with them putting boxes in wrong room. I wanted to unpack at my leisure, which you may not want/choose not to do. Depends on how much stuff you have, I guess.
Anyway, good luck...and try not to stress out too much, you have a lot on your plate right now.
