My suggestion, is to 'purge' what you don't need. This applies to the whole house. Sell it, give it away, or take it to
charities (Good Will) or just plain, trash it, if not worth giving. As for the fabric and machines. Call the moving company.
They can tell you if or what you need to do. If it is a 'whole house move' you are paying for. Let them do it all. You need
know what you are responsible for and what your moving company contracted is responsible for. Just be aware, that if you pack it and something happens in transit, the moving company is not responsible for replacing or reimburse you for it. It's your loss. How do I know this, husband worked for United Van Lines......some years ago but I'm sure this hasn't
changed...why would they insure something they didn't pack...
