Pattern for Featherweight carrying case cover
#12
I found this in a quick search of QB Tutes. I would put the strap handles all the way around the tote on the long sides of the tote.

Personally, I use a tote from when I went to a quilting camp. It doesn't have a top, but makes a great tote. Very heavy duty material and straps.

Here is a tutorial to make a carrier for a Featherweight.

I like the one on Crafty Hipster- looks fairly easy to make. I was confused by adding the handles on the ends- Think I'd add them on the long sides instead. I'd make one big enough to hold the whole box. Just got a FW with just the wire remaining for the handle, and put the whole thing into a old LL Bean canvas tote- much easier on the hands! I like the wheeled backpack idea. I've been using a folding wheeled luggage carrier, since I also use a cane. Now I need a third hand for holding stair railings, or maybe an assistant- preferably cute.

Forgot to mention- there are some nice new leather handles for FW cases on EBay, but at $16- $24- I'll use the tote. Before ordering check how the handle attaches on your case- some go east-west, some go north-south, so get the right one.

There's one in this back issue of Quilter's Home Magazine.
This blogger made hers from the pattern in the magazine (above) and then decided to add handles because apparently the handles on the original carrier sometimes give way and cause the FW to fall. Now I'm thinking I need to make one of these too!!!
