At the time I purchased my carrier about fifteen years ago there were no hard sided ones. I pack all my fabric around my machine then anything else that will fit. I feel by the time all the items I have in there my machine is very well protected.

I have a few things I want to pick up from Harbor Freight, I'm going to take a look at what they have. I have a handful of vintage machines that weigh a ton and didn't come with a case so I can use extras!

I always strap my machine into the seat belt. If I have a lot of things to transport I use my wagon.
mostly I use my large tote. http://www.landsend.com/products/ext...-bag/id_232440

I'm going to check this out and see if our local HF down the road has it.

I've had it for about 3 years now.

I love my Tuttos. I have a medium size one I bought for my FW, but I kind of wore it out, so I bought the Serger Tutto and it fits my FW even better than the medium Tutto. I have an XL Tutto for my Janome 8900 for when I have to take her somewhere.

I use a plastic tub (waterproof!) that I fill with my supplies. The fabric I carry provides lots of padding. I then put the tub on s folding luggage carrier.
When I lived in Iowa, I had to haul my machine and supplies through rain and snow. No soft luggage for me!

Dakota Rose, since you live in a large city, I would also check with either your LQS or a sewing machine store near you. I bought my serger bag (using for my FW) from my Janome dealer and one of my others from my LQS at the time.
