    My husband surprised me with a Bernina 350! Now I need a good rolling tote for it. Does anyone have suggestions for for a good tote that will fit my new machine?

    If you have a bottomless budget, get a Tutto. I love my purple one. Got it through joann.com on sale. If they have it at regular price you cn use a coupon. You may wamt to go to tutto.com to check for sizes. Make sure you get the sewing tote, mot the craft one. This tote is amazing. Goes up and down stairs with ease.

    just make sure it is does NOT have a ton of pockets...the more you put in it, the more it weighs..

    I like the Bluefig ones because they also have the extra support feet on the front to keep it standing upright!

    They don't make mine anymore..but I sure do love it..has extra storage ON TOP...great for rulers, books, etc...

    Depending on the size of your machine, you can get a great one at Harbor Freight. There are a couple of quilters in my group that have one, and it's great for hauling your machine and accessories to class and retreats!

    Price: $20.00. Can't beat that with a stick.

    I have a tutto for my machine because the machine is so heavy for me to maneuver when taking it anyplace. They are nice, have enough pockets for my needs, and although expensive--much easier to just roll my machine to where I need it. I haven't seen the Harbor Frieght carriers, but would look into it before spending extra money if theirs will work for you.

    I got a rolling knitting case on wheels at Joann's on clearance a while back for my Featherweight. It's just perfect for that size machine.
    No one I know at the classes I attend is worried about what your sewing machine is, what you bring your supplies in etc. And I won't be buying one of those battery powered pin holder things either just because it's advertized for quilters.

    I too have a purple tutto - worth every penny.
    A quilter I know got one for much less money on ebay.
