I'll be flying with my sewing machine week after next - and haven't done that in a couple of years. Last time, we used one of those wheeled totes from Joann's - but ended up having to check the machine as baggage, which I'd rather not do (betcha can't imagine why, right? :lol: ) The airline at that time told us beforehand we could stow it with the wheelchairs on board, but alas, the boarding counter didn't get the memo :cry: I'm not counting on that this time!

The carry on size limit is 10 x 16 x 24, and the machine I'm taking will fit that - if I can find a tote that size. My backup plan is on the cutting table right now - if I can't find one, I'm trying to make one. I just won't have the little plastic feet for the bottom. I'm taking a Viking Scandinavia 400, the same profile as the Viking Rose (and every bit as heavy!)

At this point, I'll take all the ideas and suggestions I can get!
