When I do go on retreats, my machine is always the last thing to go into my car, and then the first thing to get out. I put mine behind the front seat and wedge it in by moving the front seat back as far as it can go.

I leave a Janome Jem in the trunk of my car. It's in a hard molded case and the case is put in a large box lined with thick styrofoam (came from an overnight shipment of frozen meat) It has been in my trunk for several years and it's what I use on my sew days and classes at least once a week sometimes more. So far so good. It isn't a dream machine but sews great for what I use it for. I keep a tote of quilting notions, table top ironing board and big cutting mat in the trunk too and still have plenty of room for groceries and other stuff. I have a Cadallac and bought it just for the trunk space. Have you seen the trunk space in one of these? Amazing. And it's pure comfort driving too.

I have friends that leave theirs in the car in the garage for bees and classes.
I'll let them know.

Thanks ladies/gents. I now do not feel so bad about buying my Bernina a special suitcase. She came with a hard case but she also travels in the black padded and goes in a seat belt. I am so glad others understand. Teresa

Yes, this is very true. You should keep all your electronics in a place with no large temp fluctuation. Also, you need to be concerned with humidity. I keep a dehumidifier going year-round in my basement sewing studio.
