I found a carry on size suitcase that I travel with. Put my machine in it and lay it on its side. I got it at the Goodwill for $5. Cheaper than the Tutto and has pockets on the inside and out.

I put my Tutto on the back seat floor of my Jeep. It is fairly easy to lift using the top handle. My Husquevarna Sapphire fits well with room for a lot of goodies.

Thank you to everyone who has replied....lots of good info! I do have a Bernina case for my 7 Series, but it was 50% off when I purchased it. At the regular price, the smaller Bernina case is $350! I think I'll be going with the Tutto for my smaller machine.

I can answer question #1. My husband rigged up a bungee cord to attach to the handles on the trolley and a hook in our trunk meant to hold a bag of groceries. Works great.

Word of caution. My friend has a rolling sewing machine bag and a hatchback SUV. We parked on a hill. She didn't secure her sewing machine in the back and before the lift gate closed the trolley rolled out and onto the ground. She has a lovely new machine now. Expensive accident!

I have a Tutto and I love it. I really like that it rolls from the short side so it is easier to fit in small places. It is also nice because it rolls on four wheels, not two. I have a van and it doesn't roll around in the back at all. I also like that if the wheels get damaged you can buy new ones and replace them. I like things that can be fixed! I tend to lift it by the metal frame on the short sides. I haven't had any problems yet. However I only use it for my 'travel' machine that is a Janome and weighs about 13 lbs.

Thanks to all who have chimed in on my Tutto question! I went ahead and ordered a purple one! I got the large one, even though the medium would fit my machine, it was a tight fit. I wanted some extra room to pack things! Will be able to use it the first time at the end of February for a class.
