Default Taking a machine back with me to school...ideas?

Hi!

I am planning on taking my 1960s Riccar with me back to school-it is a reliable machine that I've had for 5 years, and I hope to use it as a quilting machine.
What is the best way to pack it in my carry on? I'm taking a lot of quilting fabric with me as well so I could maybe use that as padding?

Or would it be better to put it in checked luggage? Are there any restrictions of taking sewing machines on a plane?

Information on this would be appreciated, I have never attempted to take a machine back with me, so insight into how to do it and keep the machine safe would be greatly appreciated.
