It has pockets!! 1 open and 1 zips down to hold things inside it's little pockets, and one that just zips. And those are just on the front. It has a pocket on each side on the outside, and zip ones all around on the inside. I do have to give my friend Ione credit for finding the tote for her machine and telling me about it so I could get one too. I went on line and didn't find it at either Hobby Lobby nor Joann's. Maybe Michaels is the only place that has it.
I also went to Joann's and got a walking foot for it at the Viking store in there. It cost $24.95 or something like that.
Wish I had read this earlier! I was just at a JoAnns and saw one on clearance for $29.99 and wondered if my Featherweight would fit in it - it looked like it would, but I didn't take time to look closer and I didn't have the measurements of my featherweight. I was thinking it might be nice to leave the original case home. Of course, my baby is still out at the Dr's.
The one at Joann's might not be the same as I got at Michaels. I looked in 'Joann on line' and didn't see the rolling tote that I have. In the front pocket that opens up all the way, there are 2 little zippered clear plastic bags that velcro on the front side, and on the back there are several little open pockets, some with elastic above them that would hold knitting needles if bought by a knitter. I think a sewer/ quilter could use them for a lot if different things. I was surprised at all of the zippered and other pockets that it has. It has a LOT more than any of my sewing machine rolling totes have. It is also smaller than the sewing machine totes, and you don't need that much room for the featherweight to toss around in. This bag seems to be built just the right size for it. If you can get to a Michaels and check it out, I'm sure you'd like it a lot. Remember, Michaels takes Joann, Hancock, Hobby Lobby as well as their own coupons!
