I waited quite some time before buying a 'real' travel case for my sewing machine (I used a cheap JoAnn's version for over a year). After attending several sewing classes and talking to at least 20 people - I was convinced that Tutto was the way to go. While it is not 'cheap' it is fantastic for carrying my machine (well protected) and accessories (including a large cutting board / ironing mat). Even better - the stylish color - much preferred over the all black or sewing machine vendor logo ones. An excellent, long-term investment
