Hello!
I’m so excited... I just won a ticket to a sewing retreat next month. It’s a weekend getaway and we will be making a bag one day and a quilted cathedral pillow the other day.
I have one problem, I need to figure out how to get a sewing machine there and my machine (I only own one) is a brother dream machine so is huge. It would cost me 75.00 each way to take it with me and I would have to trust it to the baggage people in cargo which I think it a really scary idea.
My husband suggested that I try to find a local shop to rent me a machine... alternately I’ve thought perhaps if I can’t find that I might need to buy an inexpensive travel machine.... I thought maybe I could have it shipped there then would only need to pay to bring it home and if it is small enough perhaps it could be a carry on?
Has anyone traveled with their machine? How was it?
What machine is a good value and sturdy enough to sew thick layers? (Bag and quilt will require layers of interfacing, batting etc.)
Which machines travel well?
Any and all suggestions, comments, ideas are welcome!
TIA!
