Remove it from the case and ship them seperately. Remove the spool pin from the machine and use painter's tape to tape it to the machine. Wrap the machine with something to prevent scratches. Pack around the machine
tightly with wadded paper. Don't bother with peanuts or bubble wrap. If you do, the weight of the machine will allow it to shift in the box and it WILL punch a hole in the box.
The case I would think you could wrap in bubble wrap..it's considerably lighter and won't have the tendency to shift like the machine would.
