Some time ago I noticed that when I folded the extension of some machines up,
the extension would hit the screw that holds the faceplate on. I did not
care for this. So when I next bought costume jewlery ( I buy mine at the
disney store, but then thats where I buy my clothes too) I noticed that the
earings were on apiece of plastic faced with velvet that was self adhesive.
I peeled some off, cut a circle and put it on the screw. Instant
protection. I've found the velvet in several different colors, but if you
come across a piece of gray, its hardly noticable.

Thanks all for description and recommendations of various carrying cases
seen at quilt shows. It really helps to know what's out there. I often
don't trust advertisements so critique from cyber pals is appreciated.

Instant protection...
Good idea Lynda. Another suggestion for extension protection. I usually
store my FW with the presser bar down and a folded fabric between the foot
and feed dog. The folded fabric extends past the screw. When the bed
extension is lifted up, the folded fabric cushions the screw from direct
contact with the bed extension.
