I'll be traveling tomorrow (air) and need to get my mom's Bernette Serger o n-board with me (can't trust the baggage handlers to be handling it for me) . The only way to get it to FIT the carry-on requirements is to remove the spool holder/rack. Can't see any way to remove it though?

I hope this will help: I don't have your model, but on my Bernette MO2-3-4, the spool holder is attached to the machine with two little white nylon "buttons" (for lack of a better term). Once, you gently prise the buttons up, the spool holder will come off. Then you can detach the thread guide and arm by removing a metal screw from underneath.

Good luck! And be SURE you detach the metal thread guide. I bought a used MO2-3-4 Bernette online once, and because the seller failed to remove the guide, pressure against in in transit broke the cone holder base. (It was also poorly packed, but that's a different issue.)
