I take my sewing machine to quilting classes and also when we travel. I needed a case to put the machine in so have been checking around. Haven't found much that is affordable in sewing machine stores but, in Hobby Lobby yesterday found, on sale at $50, a beautiful rolling scrapbook tote. It's padded, on wheels, has a travel handle and has lots of storage pockets. Inside flap even holds 14 pencils. Even has a separate plastic box 12x12 that's perfect for blocks. Got it home and found my Bernina fits in it perfectly. So I have a nice travel bag for my machine, plus lots of space to put in all the extras - pencils, scissors, rulers, etc. If you're looking for a case for your machine check out the crafts section. Joann's has one also at the same price but it's not the same quality s this one.

I have a long bed Viking Sapphire. I broke down and bought the Tutto bag for it, but I feel very comfortable taking my machine out of the house. I've spent about 10% of the value of a musical instrument for a road case for it (like $250 for a flight case for my keyboard, and a few hundred for a hard-shell case for my cello), so I didn't mind spending about that much for my sewing machine.

I also like that it collapses to a skinny little thing for storage!

I have a Tutto and also the bag that fits on top. I got a bargain at the quilt show and got both for $275. I had a cheaper one but it didn't hold up, didn't have the harness to keep my machine from moving around in it, and didn't last long.

pricey but nice i,ll have to save for one
