When I pack a machine for a customer that's in a case like that, I use flattened soda bottles in the bottom of the case; it sounds weird but it works great. Solid styrofoam sheets are much better than packing peanuts, they don't shift.
I recently sent a Pfaff 260 to Connecticut and it got there in one piece, the only complaint was that it took forever to get the machine unpacked. :lol:
