I've moved.. it's very hard.. I would probably take my machine in the car with me.. fabric, well, even if they did 'toss' it into a box willy-nilly, it won't ruin it. True, you'll have to iron, refold, etc... but relax and let them do what they do.. YOU have plenty to do without allowing 'stuff' ,that will be okay, add to the already heavy burden of moving! (don't hit me verbally, I know its more than stuff to us) All I am suggesting is that while we would all rather do things our way, it's best we try to keep things in perspective and focus on what matters even more than our stash. Don't worry, it will all be okay if you can keep your head and your wits, and your sense of humor about you.
