Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Suitable for most free-arm and over-lock sewing machines, this rugged carrying case keeps a sewing machine dust-free and protected from accidental damage when it's not in use. The case is made of lightweight but impact-resistant plastic. Metal snaps securely lock the bottom to the top so you can lift the case with its comfortable, built-in handle without worrying about the case falling open. Not including the handle, the case measures 17-1/2 inches wide, 14 inches high, and 9-1/2 inches deep. --Fred Brack

2.0 out of 5 stars Won't win any engineering awards, November 11, 2003

I got this carry case per Amazon's recommendation to go with the Singer 6038 machine. While it's functional, it's very basic and doesn't allow the machine to be integrated into it like the case I have for my old White - you have to remove the machine from this case to use it. Also, the pedal for the machine I bought has to be shoved between the arm and the needle in order to get the case closed, which worries me. The fit is poor - it's a slightly protective dust cover and carrying case and not much else.

Now that I think about it, it's not even that comfortable to carry (and down it goes from 3 to 2 stars) - it was a poor engineer who decided to make the underside of the handle (you know, where all the weight presses on your fingers) a bunch of thin ribs of plastic. So instead of hanging on to a nice solid surface, you're gripping this things that's trying to bluntly slice your fingers into 1/8 inch strips. Sure, it's strong, but it's exceedingly uncomfortable to carry any distance. I'll have to wrap mine with some padded vinyl or somesuch.

In short, it does the job, but not especially well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that great.., December 27, 2003

This review is from: SINGER 611 Universal Carrying Case (Kitchen)

I agree with other purchasers of this case..best use is as a dust cover, not a carrying case. It's hard to close..trying to fit the lid into the flimsy grooves on the bottom is a pain and it's very thin. I was worried the sewing machine would fall out while walking as it slides around inside. I purchased it for my daughter so it served it's purpose as her first sewing machine and case but I wish cases were still made like the fitted one on my old Burnina. Now that sturdy, fitting case was what I'd call quality! You could just remove the top and sew, it fit the sewing machine perfectly and even had storage in the bottom. This cheap thing should have been given free with purchase of a sewing machine.

Surprise surprise! Welcome to the 21st Century, where there are 400 channels of TV, sheep and cats are cloned and sewing machines now come without carrying cases. What? !!! You say, you just spent $$$ on a machine and it has no case? Yep. Apparently the manufacturers of many sewing machines don't feel that they ought to kick in the extra few bucks it must cost include a case. Boo.

I don't need to tell anyone who sews that dust is NOT something you want in your machine. Plus, many people like to pack up their machine and take them to classes, quilting clubs, up and down stairs, well, you get the point. So here's a generic case that should have come with your new machine but didn't. That's why I give this carrying case 4 stars, because you had to pony up for this instead of having it included. I also docked a star because it is the usual putty beige color, which is getting pretty tiresome. Who decreed that all computers and electronics should be clothed in a dirty vanilla color? Oh well.
