You can use a magnet in the sewing area only. A magnetic should never be placed near the main board or the LCD screen. A strong magnet should never be used.
We hope this information will be useful to you. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know."
Thank you for the information. We all need to know this. The little magnets are just so handy to have around.
Another thing I have by machine is a little seam ripper. I have the one with the clear top. I taped the top upside down on the side of my machine and the ripper just slips down in the top and is easy to get out to use.
