Tutto Bags Are the Best Wheels On the Go...Especially for Quilters Traveling With a Sewing Machine
subindex_sewingmachine.jpgTutto to go! I ordered up a piece of Tutto luggage to take to Minneapolis for Quilt Market last week. I needed one to hold all of the brochures, samples, catalogs and flyers that the vendors hand out. (Your load becomes quite heavy when you collect info from morn until eve!) I needed Tutto to save me and my shoulders and aching back. And Tutto came through!

I had heard they could turn on a “dime”. They do. (You can spin right into the ladies room stall with it -without needing to wait for the larger-sized handicap stall.) They can also hold up to 150 pounds sitting on top of it. (Tutto even supplies a bungee cord to strap down that extra 150 pounds of whatever!) And I can document that as well. I used it for a chair when waiting in long lines.

The Tutto was a great brochure/catalog storage device on wheels—it worked quite wonderfully.

But what the medium-sized Tutto (the size I bought) is normally used for is for toting your sewing machine to a quilting class, a friend’s house or taking it with you on a trip.

And the medium-sized Tutto fits in the overhead of an airplane.l_collapsible.jpg One of its best features is that it collapses down to only 3 inches thick.

My machine fits great and there are plenty of pockets, and storage for your sewing supplies.

The Tutto features top and side openings for easy access. It has a front pockets and rear mesh pockets and two straps inside to strap down your sewing machine so it does not shift while traveling. And plenty of smaller pockets to hold your gadgets.

In addition to the sewing machine Tutto, the company has luggage, business cases, steno case, pet carrier (with mesh sides), scrap booking case, PDA case, and specialty cases for both your laptop and camera.

I wheeled mine up to Susan, who was demonstrating the Tutto at a booth the Quilt Market, and I told her how much I loved my Tutto (being a curious new owner, I had already tested out the claim of turning on a dime and holding 150 pounds on top) and how happy I was that it was everything they said it would be.

She then asked me to give a testimonial and she filmed me on her cell phone…I am curious to see where that is going to show up.

Susan was super nice and even helped lube up a minor squeak in one of my wheels.

Many ‘o quilt shop owner were pulling their Tutto’s down the aisles at Quilt Market…I only used my pinky finger to pull mine…they come in a great colors too…lime green, red, maroon, black, blue, purple, pink. I wanted lime green real bad…but got talked into red. But I still love it!

The medium-sized Tutto retails in the $150 to 160 range.

I hear that it's really hard to get these bags because they are always on backorder from the manufacturer. I'm trying to find someone who actually has them in stock.

My friend in the quilt club had one and the zipper would jam on it all the time.

I have some in stock. I have found the company stands behind their product. IF she has a problems she should call Tutto and ask for Susan.
