How I Roll With My BERNINA

I needed a better way to take my machine and all the accessories with me when we're out on sewing dates, events, and classes. So, I got my BERNINA some New Year's gifts, the Modern Style No. 3 tote and a custom accessory tote to go along with it.

I LOVE this machine tote! It holds all the essentials along with the machine in plenty of zipper pockets, and has an adjustable extension handle to roll the tote along for easier transport. It is easy to pick up and roll!

Plus the inside is my favorite color. And there is a "seat belt" to hold the machine steady while in transport. Very nice.

I was searching for weeks for some kind of container that would make a perfect companion for this tote to hold machine accessories. I looked at tackle boxes, art and craft totes and tool boxes, but each one I found was either too big, too small, or too expensive.

But last weekend I took a trip to Harbour Freight with my hubs and found the PERFECT container, the Storehouse Toolbox Organizer With 4 Drawers. (It's an "in-store only" item if you're looking for one.) Only problem was this tool box is obnoxiously colored bright yellow with black trim, not the best match for the machine tote.

 I used spray paint formulated for plastic to make this tool tote gray with black trim to match the machine tote.



The front cover of the box swings down to reveal four small "tackle" style boxes.

Each of these little boxes has dividers, and the little compartments are the right size for accessory feet.

The top compartment opens up to hold all the rest of the accessories for my machine.

And now I'm ready to roll!
