Bernina: Used 1530 vs new 220
"Taria" wrote in message news:IMSaj.198$y54.112@trnddc07... I wonder about lugging a computer machine around. That just doesn't seem a great idea to me. My computerized machine is the only one portable enough to take to classes (hard to lug a treadle!) -- I've lugged it for years without problems. As long as you aren't dropping it or leaving it in the car in the summer, I don't see a problem. -- Kathy A.

Bernina: Used 1530 vs new 220
well, you see there is possibly the problem. LOL
I haven't dropped too many machines but they have been known to dance around the back area of the car. The heat here isn't kind either. I guess they are tougher than I think they can be. My 301 is so handy for classes that don't require zz's. Janome Jems (is it a G or J) seem to be coming out of the woodwork down here in classes.

With the built-in handle, I don't think it weighs any more than a FW in a case, does it? Plus it's stronger and has more work space. Everyone should have one!!! But not three or four like I do. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

As long as you aren't dropping it or leaving it in the car in the summer, I don't see a problem. I *prefer* to lug my Featherweight , but sometimes I need more than a simple straight stitch for something. I have taken my Bernina to many places -- including to Arizona for quilt camp or Quilting in the Desert. My solution to the weight thing is to have it in a Tutto bag -- that thing rolls so easily that it's a pleasure to have! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

Could you not put it on the back seat and use the seat belt to restrain
it? .. In message Dx_aj.14584$gF4.2023@trnddc02, Taria writes well, you see there is possibly the problem.

I put mine on the floor between the seats. It can't move much there,
especially if I push the front seat back against it. Julia in MN Patti wrote: Could you not put it on the back seat and use the seat belt to restrain it? .

I was kind of teasing. The 301 is almost the same weight w/o the
case as the FW with the case and easier to carry. It fits right behind the seat in the car. Most of my bigger machines don't fit so well there. I do have a carrier with rollers but I still don't think it is a great idea to schlep around a computer machines a whole lot. I am the one that has been drug to the computer sewing machine age kicking and screaming though. : ) Taria, down to 2 FW's and 2 301's here besides all the assorted other machines.

I could probably do that. This 6600 just doesn't seem really tough
to me. It really seems sort of fragile. My Bernie 930 really has spoiled me for tough! It is kind of like a tank.
