I schlepped her on the AIRPLANE! HEY! My husband and son took their GOLF CLUBS! I did put the needle in my check thru suitcase, but was amazed that TSA was more amused (sewing machine huh? was what I got on the trip back) by the amused looks I got! I WAS glad to have a set of luggage wheels on the way home! I will be scouting a better bag in the future, but I sewed EVERY day I was gone and loved every minute...Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228272999302748449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502918149053512615.post-13525423243649965482008-07-28T14:06:00.000-05:002008-07-28T14:06:00.000-05:00on the smell - clean the whole machine, clean the ...on the smell - clean the whole machine, clean the box, apply some baking soda to the bottom of the box and let it sit somewhere dry for a day with good ventilation, then vacuum out the soda. if it doesn't remove all the smell it will at least cut it down quite a bit. there may be too much mildew in the box from years of temperature and humidity changes to ever get it all out.tirane93https://www.blogger.com/profile/00636098698345095235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502918149053512615.post-70458981134029096122008-07-28T07:33:00.000-05:002008-07-28T07:33:00.000-05:00WOW!
