I travel with a sewing machine to WA and to TX at least twice a year. I found a nice compact small duffel bag at Walmart and I've used it to take each of these machines at one time or another - my Brother LS2125, Janome 720 and my Janome 760 on the plane with me. It fits nicely in the overhead compartment, doesn't take up a lot of space. I do wrap bubble plastic around it once just for my piece of mind but I've never had problem. The machines are light so I carry them but I rent one of those push carts at the airport if I have to walk a long ways. It's worth the buck or two.
