I have traveled with my FW numerous times. She has been swabbed for drugs, used for training, and admired! I found a rolling backpack that she fits is perfectly. I precut my project , ziploc bag it and use it for padding. My parents think I'm kinda loony (my mom still has the sewing machine I learned on, but we have a hate-hate relationship!), but my husband is so used to me traveling with it, he looks for it if its not with the rest of my things! (hey! HE takes his golf clubs!!!) Happy Sewing!
