Your plan sounds like an exciting adventure. I haven't had the experience but will add a couple of thoughts for you.
I use a double side tackle box for sewing supplies. It holds a ton of tools. It was easy to pack for classes at the LQS. Does your machine use pre-wound bobbins? I like them as there is more thread on the bobbin. My LQS sells sample size bottles of spray starch. Don't forget a glue stick or elmer's school glue, and a magnetic pin holder. Have fun!
