HELLO, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO PACK YOUR SEWING MACHINE FOR SHIPPING TO THE NEW OWNER OR JUST TO MAKE THE MOVING TRIP SAFE!
BE SURE TO UNPACK DO NOT LEAVE MACHINE PACKED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IT NEEDS AIR TOO.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF PACKING YOUR MACHINE, I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW I PACK AND HAVE HAD GREAT LUCK WITH IT. DEPENDING ON THE MACHINE AND THE SIZE OF THE CASE WILL MATTER ON HOW MUCH PACKING YOU USE, I USE BUBBLE WRAP AND PEANUTS BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT THEN USE WHAT YOU HAVE.

THE MAIN POINT HERE IS THAT YOU DON'T WANT THE MACHINE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AROUND DURING SHIPPING, THAT IS WHAT DAMAGES THE MACHINE AND CASE.

THE FIRST THING YOU CAN DO IS TAKE OFF THE SPOOL PIN COVER TO BE SURE IT DOESN'T GET DAMAGED OR DAMAGE THE CASE. I PACK MOST WITH IT ON AND IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE IT ON JUST MAKE SURE TO PUT ENOUGH PACKING ON TOP OF MACHINE SO IT FITS SNUG WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID.

JUST REMEMBER IF THE MACHINE IS IN A CARRING CASE, YOU WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH PACKING IN AND AROUND THE MACHINE SO IT DOES NOT MOVE.

THIS IS MINOR DAMAGE, I DON'T HAVE A CASE AT THIS TIME WITH SOME MAJOR DAMAGE BUT THIS LITTLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE LID MAY HAVE BENT OR BROKEN THE SPOOL PIN ON THE MACHINE.

I REPAIR THESE OLD MACHINES SO I BUY AND SELL A LOT OF THEM AND I HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY POOR PACKING AND THERE IS NOTING WORSE THAN TO SPEND $200 PLUS ON A MACHINE THAT YOU PURCHASED AND GETTING IT AND BECAUSE OF POOR PACKING THE MACHINE ARRIVES WITH DAMAGE AND THE SELLER SAYS "YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT INSURANCE ON IT".

I WANT TO SAY TO EVERYBODY; "INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER DAMAGE IF IT IS CAUSED BY POOR PACKING, THAT IS THE SELLER OR PACKING COMPANY'S RESPONCEABILTY.
INSURANCE IS PAYED IF THE SHIPPING COMPANY IS RESPONCIBALE FOR THE DAMAGE, OF COURSE THIS MAY VERY DEPENDING ON WHO THE INSURER IS.
WHAT I AM POINTING OUT IS, IF YOU PACK IT WELL IT WILL ARRIVE IN THE SAME CONDITION AS PURCHASED.
TAKE YOUR MACHINE AND WRAP IT IN BUBBLE WRAP OR WHAT EVER YOU HAVE.

DEPENDING ON THE CASE YOU MAY NEED TO TRIM WRAP
SO MACHINE FITS INTO CASE PROPER.
THIS IS THE SMALL BUBBLES IF YOU ARE PACKING WITHOUT CASE
CAN USE THE BIGGER BUBBLES.

I TAKE PLASTIC OR PLASTIC BAG AND WRAP AROUND ATTACHMENT BOX AND
THEN RUN TAPE AROUND TO HELP SUPPORT THE BOX.

IF YOU HAVE OTHER ATTACHMENTS WRAP THEM AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO
FIT IN CASE UNDER THE SMALL TRAY BEFORE PUTTING MACHINE IN.

I ALSO PUT THE BOOK IN A PLATIC BAGGIE AND IF NEEDED PUT BETWEEN CARDBOARD AND CAN BE PUT ALONG THE SIDE OF CASE. IF THE ATTACHMENTS WON'T FIT IN CASE WRAP AND PUT IN SHIPPING BOX.

THE FOOT CONTROL CAN GO AS SEEN OR WRAP WITH BUBBLE WRAP AND
LAY ALONG THE BACK SIDE OF MACHINE IN CASE.
IF YOU HAVE A FULL TRAY I WRAP FOOT CONTROL AND IF IT WILL FIT IN
TRAY WILL PUT IT THERE OR LAY ALONG SIDE OF MACHINE BELOW TRAY.

NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS PACKED SAFE IN THE CASE I TAKE MORE BUBBLE WRAP AND PACK SIDES AROUND MACHINE AND ON TOP SO THAT WHEN I SHUT THE LID IT IS SNUG, NOW NOTHING IS GOING TO MOVE WHILE BE SHIPPED.

TAKE SOME BUBBLE WRAP AND WRAP OUTSIDE OF CASE AND PUT A LITTLE UNDER HANDLE TO PROTECT FROM LEAVING A MARK ON CASE.

AFTER YOU GET IT TAPED TAKE THE TAPE AND RUN A LINE ALL THE WAY AROUND IT TO HELP SUPPORT LID AND CASE, I USUALLY RUN A LINE ON BOTH SIDE OF THE HANDLE.

PEANUTS OR PACKING OF YOUR CHOICE ON THE BOTTOM

I LAY MACHINE IN ON IT'S SIDE

SET MACHINE IN BOX AND NOW PACK AROUND SIDES

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT PEANUTS IS IT GIVES THE MACHINE AN AIR RIDE
BUT BALLED UP NEWS PAPER, PLASTIC BAGS
WILL DO SIMILAR AS LONG AS YOU USE ENOUGH.

I HAVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM MY CUSTOMERS ON MY PACKING AND
HAVE HAD ALL ITEMS MAKE IT TO THEIR BUYERS AS PURCHASED.
I ALWAYS SAY PACK IT LIKE YOUR PACKING FOR YOURSELF!

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AS A PACKER AND IF YOU ARE A BUYER OF MINE
THAT IT GIVES YOU A PIECE OF MIND ON HOW YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE PACKED.
THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK,
