Wonderful tip. Thanks!

Sounds like fun! I never brought a machine camping but always had hand work. If I went again I'd bring my FW.
Have a great time :)

Thanks for the feed back. I am thinking the FW might be a good option. Our motor home shakes a lot when driving and DH thinks the FW might be the best option too.

I take my FW but sometimes I take the 66 red eye Hand Crank. People at the camp ground who do not sew are drawn to the HC and just want to watch me piece quilt. I do not know if it is the machine or that I am a man sewing. My wife just sit there reading and being entertained by the people watching me. Glenn

I have an old Singer hand crank that I take when I want to piece while camping. That way if we camp w/o electric I can still work on something to occupy my time...boys like to fish and I don't (but will eat what they catch! lol)

Whichever is the easiest machine for you to tote around would be my answer. If it's like when I go camping, I'm always having to move stuff around to accommodate meal times, so portability is the key for me.

Sorry I can't help you. When I go camping with my DS, we're in a tent with no utilities. The table is the camp supplied picnic table. I wouldn't dare take a machine with me because it would get full of sand.
I usually take beach novels. You know the ones. The kind that if you leave them at the beach, you don't care?
Anyway, have a great vacation.

I thought compressed air was bad for sewing machines.....at least that is what the sewing machine repair place has told me....that it forces more lint/dust further into the mechanics of the machines. Therefore needing repaired more often. Has anyone ever heard this before?

We are leaving tomorrow. I'm taking my FW and have several kid's charity tops cut and in sets. They are just 6 in. squares which I have laid out and stacked in the order I want to sew them. I also just bought a kit for a US flag wall hanging made with tumbler blocks that will be easy to stitch.
Have fun with your stitching

I usually take my Janome platinum. It's small, light, and fits into the odd shaped storage places our MH has. I've been quilting in the MH for about 6 or 7 years.
We just bought a new MH, so this time I'm going to try it with the big Pfaff. I'll let you know how it works when we get home next August.

I do 'civilized' camping now- you know the kind where you have your own queen sized bed, full bathroom and a 10x22 foot covered porch next to the trailer. I just got back from it as a matter of fact, and today I finished piecing my next quilt project :-)
I usually bring my featherweight, but since my DH gave me a bernina 430 for graduation, I have been hauling that back and forth (it is definately heavier than my 221) so that I can play with it. I do most of my cutting at home, then piece on my porch! Have fun camping
