Once you have invested a decent amount of money into a good quality sewing machine it makes perfect sense to try and keep it in the best condition possible. One of the easiest ways to do this is by using a sewing machine bag to store it in when not in use.

In addition to been an ideal storage option, sewing machine bags are an essential accessory for those that attend sewing classes or take their sewing machine with them when visiting friend’s or family.

In this guide we will be going over everything you need to know about choosing the best sewing machine bag for your sewing needs. Once armed with this information, the list I have put together for you to take a look at should make choosing the perfect sewing machine carry bag an easy decision.

Sewing Machine Bag Buyer’s Guide

Room for accessories

Be sure that there are plenty of compartments and pockets on your chosen bag, as we all know, sewing requires a lot of accessories.

Durable materials

A good sewing machine bag will last a long time if constructed from durable materials and taken care of properly. You will tend to find that most of them are made from either polyester, nylon or a combination of the two. These materials can be easily cleaned and are long lasting.

Easy to carry

When it comes to portability not all sewing bags are made equal. When buying you will find that a sewing bag can come with up to three different methods of carrying it. First there is an ordinary handle that you will find with every bag. Some bags also come with a shoulder strap and a back luggage band for use with a suitcase’s pull up handle.
