I use a bag made like this every week for my classes. Make sure the size is big enough for your machine. In my bag I have my Janome 3160, a reel type extension cord, a mat for under my machine , a travel iron, a fabric sewing kit, usually my current project and still get my lunch in there too. I use the outside pocket for my 6 x 12 ruler. I have had mine for over 10 years and it is still going strong. I would replace it in a minute if this one breaks down.
