Just a little warning. I have a janome trolley for sewing machines, expensive. No problem with trolley but please remember to pack well the handle area in the bag. I had to do an emergency stop. When I took my bernina out the handle had been pushed under the top plastic on one side only. The gentleman who does our electric checks had a look and widdled it out. I am not complaining about the bag or machine but just trying to warn all of you who like me take expensive machines to classes accidents do happen. I love both and now I place my quilt material between the handle and machine at the back.

I have a local Harbor Freight store and spend many happy hours finding all sorts of things I can incorporate into my quilting room for storage, etc. I'm usually the only woman actually SHOPPING there when I go! My dh thinks it's funny that I get excited when he wants to make a H.F. run!

I needed a bag for my white Featherweight. I went to Walmart and bought a soft side cooler and it works splendidly. It has pockets on both ends and the inside is very well padded. Has an adjustable handle for shoulder or just carrying and is very light weight. They had larger ones too that would probably fit a bigger machine. Mine cost around $12.00.

I have the first one that I carry my Janome Magnolia in. Took it all the way to NY (from MO) riding behind the drivers sat with no problem. Iid however have some fabric packed around the upper portion - not really forprotection, I just wanted to have it with the machine - maybe it did dual duty? My Janome is my backup machine.

Thanks for the links. I think I'll make a trip to the store & look at them.
I have a bag that I bought at Tuesday Morning a couple of years ago & it works well but I'd love to have another one. I did measure the inside of it & its 16"x9" inside with a depth of 13". The Harbor Freight bags are only 10" deep but with the top being soft it should work. My bag is only reinforced with what feels like card board & its not really heavy cardboard. I'm sure you could find something firm to reinforce the other bags (maybe stick cardboard in the many pockets) |
I have the green one for my Featherweight. Not really pleased. No padding, inside pockets catch on machine and the bag is actually pretty heavy. I'm looking for a paded cooler which I think would be much lighter.

Thanks for the help. http://www.harborfreight.com/20-inch...-bag-3264.html or this one http://www.harborfreight.com/20-inch...bag-92328.html |
They do look good but I'd make sure I could return it if my machine didn't fit in it. Do they have any padding to protect the machine? I'd go with the 2nd one even tho it is more you would probably use the carry bag for all the other things you need to take to classes,etc.

i have the 2nd bag,it is good for the price.my pfaff 1475cd is the choice i take to my weekly sewing group but its a bit heavy lifting in and out of car,but it does roll real well. it saved me $$$$$ for fabric lol.

Have looked at similar ones in the store ... they are a lot heavier than a rolling sewing machine bag (but probably sturdier).
