I agree with those who said to bring a light-weight sewing machine to class, instead of a larger one. Schlepping a 35 pound sewing machine is an accident waiting to happen. Note: I looked up the Bernina 770 QE and that was the weight that was given. Whether it is to your back or to the sewing machine, it is really too much to carry in and out. Of course, this is just my opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.

There are a lot of inexpensive machines on the market right now, some better than others. Janome has a few good ones that some quilters I know have been taking to our weekly senior center sewing classes and they love them. In addition, the sewing machine cases for these lighter machines are a lot less expensive.
