I use my Serger trolley bag, it is on wheels with an extendable handle and has room for all my sewing bits and pieces. I leave the FW in its case for extra protection.

Featherweights are like purse dogs (said with affection) you can make them a highfashion accessory

I have a Liz Claiborne travel bag that has wheels. I bought it at a discount store. There is enough room for the machine plus extras. Bonnie Hunter of http://quiltville.com/ uses. Rick Steve's Roll Aboard Cabin Tote Bag when traveling on airplanes.

Mine is in a soft side, collapsible beer cooler I bought at the dollar store.

Gailmitchell - Thank you for the web site - I have been looking for some of the items that Dave has. Nice to know he is around. Also wanted a soft sided case for my Pawnie. So again Thank you for the site.

I bought a soft zippered carrying case from Janome for $25.

I bought a rolling knitting case from Joann's with my 50% coupon. It's sturdy and has enough room for my necessities and it is still lightweight for me to carry by hand. I put my footpedal and tool box in pouches I made out of fleece so they don't scratch my machine. I can tuck a small project in the outside pouches and also inside. I'm very happy with it.

I found a cooler at the store that my featherweight fits in just great. Besides the soft outside it has a plastic inside which adds very good support. The top has zipper to keep it closed.

There are some companies that sell soft FW cases. I put my FW in it's case and then put it in my Tutto when going to class. Very nice, since it has wheels.

I suggest a tool bag from Harbor Freight. Lots of room for project, machine, pockets for stuff and it is on wheels. It is not a very pretty bag but it is cheap and well built. In fact they are on sale right now for $19.99 regular price is $24.99. Here is the link
