I don't know how you deal with packing around such a heavy machine, I hate just loading them in the car to go somewhere. There's no way I could carry one around on a bus.

Good to know. As I wrote, I am going to try the knee controler.
And yes, it is a pain to lug cast iron sewing machines around on the bus. I usually put them in rolling luggage though I think I hauled one in a backpack once. Back in my musician days I'd haul two or three bags of recording equipment on the bus and since the bus routes never went quite where I needed them I'd take my bike too. Yes, hundreds of dollars of recording equipment in bags on a bike! Compaired to that, carrying a sewing machine and a project in progress isn't too bad *laughs*
