Sewing machine and project totes
What totes have you used with success?
Just blew through 2 more totes today. The seam split open on one. The other is too cumbersome and too small for my 19" base length machine-gave it to a sewing friend who's on a tight budget. Then there is one that the lining is ripping to shreads. One ($225) the telescoping handle stopped telescoping and couldn't get it into the car. One, the legs broke off. One so large that everything fit into it-yea!- took 2 of us to put it into the car. Also have the XXL Tuto for the Bernina 830. The machine is so heavy it made the bottom panel permanently sag, and I can't get it into the car by myself, and the wheels have damaged the floor of the baggage compartment in our SUV. I've decided the 830 isn't portable. I did buy a MAN TOY box from Orchard Supply (maybe it won't break), but I think it's too heavy with nothing in it. Back to the store it goes.
Now I'm using the $30 colapsable file boxes from office supply for my small machine. When it breaks, I'll buy another. Still need a tote for a machine with a 19" base length that isn't so big that it weighs too much to lift. Think I might get a cheapy from JoAnns and consider it disposable, just keep replacing it.
