sewing machine trolley
#11
I bought a Bernina off ebay a few years ago. I'd say go with the padded sewing machine tote if you're taking it to retreats. You'll go up curbs, stairs, rough sidewalks, etc. I went to the Mid-Atlantic quilt festival with mine and was in and out of hotels, on escalators, elevators, you name it. The machine can get a real beating if you're not careful.

I have a Joann's case for my small machines. I have used it for at least 5 years now. It was on clearance and they let me use a 40% off coupon so I think I paid $20.00 for it, but it still looks new and everything works. I had to get a much larger one for my Janome - believe it is the Tutto mentioned above. It will accommodate the larger machine, but I have to open the front and the top then reach thru the top and pull my machine in through the front. It fits so that is what matters but I was hoping to be able to just set it in, but unable to find a case. So be sure what you buy will fit your machine.

I bought this bag at Harbor Freight. It is a tool bag made of very heavy canvas. It isn't padded, but is big enough for me to put my Brother machine, with the hard cover on it, inside. I like the heavy handles on the top. So many rolling cases don't have handles to pick up without using the telescoping handle. I figure I'll have enough fabric, and equipment in the bag to pad the machine. The best part was the price. If I find something better I'm not out much.

It really depends on how often you plan on using, where you will be going and how much you want to spewnd. I have the one from Jo-Ann's with coupon and it is fine. No problems with handle. I use it to take classes on a weekly basis driven in my car, no problems and it is big enough to carry all my supplies and my Featherweight.

I have purchased several but the one I prefer is the tutto. Worth the money.
