I have a carry-on suitcase that I use for my FW. My husband modified it by adding pick and pluck foam so there is a cut-out for the machine to sit in. Then there is a cut out for my box of notions and rulers. Everything goes in there and doesn't move or wiggle. It is a hard sided suitcase so I would have no problem checking it on a plane and wouldn't worry about any damage. TSA might wonder what that's all about but it works for me. I will try to remember to take a picture when I get home.
