Does anyone have a creative technique to get the machine in and out of the car? Ive tried minimizing the case weight and I bought a 335 to minimize the weight from my heavier machines.
i have a similar problem with my automated wheelchair. It's difficult to get it in/out of my car. But it is relatively easy to get it in/out of our Dodge minivan. Seats are folded away, door slides open and the floor is lower than the floor of the trunk area.
Since it's unlikely you will go out and buy dodge minivan, My suggestion is to get a very lightweight low end Brother machine to lighten your load.
