for traveling to class....
i have a tutto sewing machine pull along that i love. i now think i need something that will hold my cutting board, fabric, etc. what do you all use? I imagine that tutto's embroidery module case would do the trick, but would like to ponder other options that aren't quite so spendy. ideally, it would zipper close or not be a tote bag <g>.
thank you all so much! betsey |
At my last retreat, I had several inquiries about my tote on wheels. What it really is -- go to Menard's and look at the wheeled tool boxes. I purchased one with an extendable handle on 2 wheels. The lid snaps on and had a large handled tray inside. Lifiting out the tray allows lots of room for classroom items. I also purchased the jig saw puzzle cutting mat. The pieces in their container fits nicely between the tot's lid and the lift out tray. This tote sits nicely beside me in class and acts as a 2nd work station. I can easily see how a pressing board could be placed on the top of the tote. There are just sew many possibilities.

I carry my cutting boards in plain zipper close pillowcase.

I don't travel with my machine much. But, I was wondering if those luggage totes would work that have the handle. Hm.

I have noticed several people at retreats using a carry on size suitcase. It can be placed on top of your machine bag for carrying.

I have looked for a long time and cameup with this... my machine fits in the bottom and each of the other 2 compartments lift off so the weight isn't so bad... the 2nd compartment has 2 drawers and then the top one is where I put my project . The web site is : http://trinityii.com/toolboxes_6.php Several of the quilters in my small group have them...

I remember someone had posted a Tool bag from Harbor Frieght that was less than $30 (I think it was $20 but then you would have tax). It was on wheels and was big enough for the machine and some tools. It was posted about a week maybe a little more ago.

Found the link http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=3264
It was a few dollars cheaper in the stores if you have a HF near you. |
