Igloo cooler and case company makes a small insulated soft-case with a hard bottom that is just about the same size as the Singer original featherweight case.

It has a zip and flip to the side top like many soft sewing machine cases, outside pockets and thick carry strap handles: $19.99 at many discount stores, such as Wally world and Big-Lots.

I made a very simple tote out of denim for a box for my husband, and it would be easy to make a tote that the FW case would fit in. If you want to "talk" about it, PM me.

I would rather have a soft case so I can put the foot controller and cord separetly, I think the plug end may have put a scratch on the top of it while in the hard case.

I would like to make a quilted case for it, what does everyone think?

Actually, I haven't seen it yet, just ordered it online at Hancockfabrics.com, do a search for machine tote. I hope the featherweight fits in it.

I'll post when I receive it.
