How to Pack a Sewing Machine?

Hey Krishnendu. Let me tell you the steps for packing sewing machine. So, packing a sewing machine can be a little tricky as there are several parts of the machine which are tricky to handle. So, you should first observe the machine well and see how you can simplify by removing parts. I will explain better below.

1. Begin by removing any detachable parts from the sewing machine.

2. Wrap each component in bubble wrap and place theme in a separate box. 

3. After this, secure the machine onto the base.

4. Ensure the sewing machine is on its hinges and that the screws of the hinge set are tiight.  

5. Also check the hinges are bolted and tightened well. If there is a clip that keeps the base pressed down, ensure its both locked and tightened as it should be. 

6. Also see that the machine is well fitted to its built in mounts.

7. Look for any delicate regions on the machine and protect them with pieces of styrofoam. 

8. Wrap the machine with bubble wrap. Add several layers of wrap to cover the machine well. 

9. When you place the machine inside the case, add sufficient padding inside the case too. This will ensure that the case is protected and the machine doesn’t move inside.

10. Once you have added bubble wraps along the inside area of the case, place it over the machine and secure it 

11. Then, wrap up the case and secure it with tape. 

12. Place this in a cardboard box and fill the empty space with packing peanuts. Secure the box with packing tape and label it.

When I recently relocated to Bangalore, I had to shift my belongings. The most prized possession was my granny’s sewing machine. Although they seem and feel robust, antique sewing machines are rarely that sturdy. So if you are wondering how to pack a sewing machine for moving I can share a few tips with you that I followed.

How to Pack Sewing Machine for Moving?

Firstly, without the right packing supplies, you won't be able to safeguard your sewing machine, thus obtaining these resources before you move them should be your top priority. The following items are necessary to pack your sewing machine;

• Moving boxes

• Bubble wrap

• Stretch wrap

• Styrofoam

• Packing tape

Remove all loose components and add-ons, including the bobbins, needles, and presser foot. Put them in a ziplock bag or labelled container.

Set the presser foot and needle to the lowest positions. If there is a needle plate cover, use it.

Make sure that all sides of the sewing machine are covered by wrapping it in bubble wrap or a thick blanket. Packing tape should be used to secure the wrapping, keeping it away from the machine's surface.

Choose a sturdy cardboard box, ideally the original packaging if available. Add ample padding to the bottom, such as foam, or crumpled paper.

After wrapping the machine, carefully put it inside the box. To stop movement, apply more padding to any holes.
