Tutto seems to be popular, and if you catch them at last day of a large quilt show can score discounts. I got very lucky and found a great bernina case in craigslist.

I have an oversized Babylock Serger rolling zip bag that I can put my Brother Innovis 4000D in. It isn't padded, but by the time I put the zip locks in with my fabric & sewing needs...scissors, thread, etc, everything is padded nicely. It's even big enough to put a 12x18" cutting/ironing board in. A bit heavy to load, but wonderful to wheel in.
I would Never ship my machine in this bag. I would buy a Tutto if I had to ship it. The Tutto keeps a machine a lot more stable and has a protective pipe like exterior frame.

I bought a tool caddy at Harbor Freight. It has wheels and an extendable handle, like luggage. My husband cut a small piece of plywood to put in the bottom of the bag and it works great. Think I paid all of $25.00 for it. I could not stomach the cost of a Tutto bag ($300!!!!). If you're just taking to to classes and retreats, I don't see why you'd need the outer frame that the Tuttos apparently have.

I saw an awesome machine carrier in a recent class. I think it was a Tutto; it had the exterior pipe frame.
The cool thing about it (aside from the wheels and all the space) was that the top was reinforced so it could be used as a seat. The lady who owned it sure looked comfy sitting on her case while the rest of us stood around in the concrete hallway, waiting for class doors to be opened! Several of us asked her about it, we were all a little jealous.
I am needing a rolling case too, my plan is to measure my machine and head over to Ross to see if I can find a good cheap rolling suitcase that will work. I don't need it rugged/padded enough for air travel, just for taking to local classes.
