Thanks Suzisew for the link on Harbor Freight. I will check this out myself. DH goes to Harbor Freight often. They are easy to order from too. DH just ordered me a new machine for our 47th anniversary, came in yesterday and I will need a carrying case or it - like I really needed another machine, I already had 6 plus my serger but hey no one can have too many right? It is a Toyota J34 for sewing on denim, has many other features lots of decorative stitches and will sew on apparently any type of fabric, I haven't threaded it to try it out yet.here were several attachment feet with it, including a button hole foot.To take a gander at it go to Mr. Vac and Mrs. Sew's site to check it out.

This case is only 10" high. Will that be high enough to hold your machine and any accessories?

purchase in inexpensive rolling suitcase and if necessary, add in a layer of mattress topper for extra padding. I use this technique for transporting mine when I travel and it's working perfectly. With the right sized suitcase, you even have room to include all your notions and tools. lots of cheap ones at thrift shops as well as inexpensive new ones.

Look on line for non-specific rolling suitcases. There are so many choices out there you may be able to find something that works that isn't so expensive. It's hard to find something sturdy enough in construction to offer protection for your valuable machine since most non-specific ones are made for clothing, etc. Don't forget the local hardware stores, and the chains like Harbor Freight, Lowe's and Home Depot. Especially since "the season" is coming up and stores bring in specialty, one-time items for gift giving. Good luck and do let us know if you find something special!
