    I have the cover /case and use one of those folding, rolling luggage carts with a couple of bungee cords . Not aesthetically pleasing but cheap and it works

    I have a sew perfect that I got from my dealer. I paid $100 as I needed the larger size for my Janome 7700. The bottom has supports , the tires are big and lots of pockets.

    I have the Tutto. Not only is it great for transporting my sewing machine, there is also room for fabric, pattern and notions.

    I have a small carry-on case that my machine fits inside. If you can find one of those that will take your machine, they're great. Much sturdier rollers IMO than the bags made for sewing machines.

    I have 2 Tuttos: one for my FW and one for my Pfaff. My FW case fits in the Tutto, so I put my FW in her case and then in the Tutto for class.

    Just watch for classes.

    While garage saleing one day, I found a scrapbooking tote that is more square & sturdy. It says "Crop In Style XXL" on the front. Retail was about $180 but the gal sold it to me for $10!! Was in perfect & clean condition - she said her kids didn't "scrap" any more. I have a Janome 3160 for classes & it holds the machine, foot pedal, cords, accessory box & even patterns/material when I go to class. Sturdy too. Maybe you could fine something similar on a lucky day or at some of the Goodwill, Savers, etc. stores.

    Mine is the same - it's big enough to hold the small Janome I take to classes. And it is very sturdy - wheels included.I don't transport my larger computerized machines.

    When I was deciding on a bag, I was torn between the ones with 4 wheels or two. I decided on the two wheels as it allows me to go up and down stairs without carrying the bag. For extra cushion, I covered some thin foam with fabric and lined the inside -including the bottom.

    They just don't work for me. We live in the country, no sidewalks, so trying to pull the tote on the lawn or dirt is a pain. Then it doesn't want to fit in my little Ford Ranger so that becomes an issue. It's easier for me to carry it!
