Thanks Everyone for the suggestions. This morning I tried putting my machine inside a carrying case and then into my smaller suitecase. There is no wiggle room at all so hubby wants me to ship it as checked baggage so I don't have any problems. I'm going to pad it some more with purse material and interfacing that I have cut out to take with me. He also doesn't want me to get tired carrying it through Denver International.
To answer the question, where I'm going. I'm going to be in the Fayetteville/Rogers area in Arkansas. I tried to find a shop that would rent me one but didn't have any luck with that.
Thanks again. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
