When we moved last summer I was OK with anyone moving my fabrics, since it can not break. If everything is done correctly they should be fine. My machine is another story. It was the last thing to leave the house, directly to my car, and it was the first thing into my new apartment. I placed it in a cornet of my closet and only took it out when the sewing table was set up. I don't think is a good idea to leave it in the car. You never know what can happen when no one is watching.
