I've used power strips before. Rather handy set-up! On, the iron, work light and machine are all on. Done? Off! No wondering, "Now, did I turn off that iron?" Light off= everything off.
Thank you Joe! That's what I thought. For this machine, it is what I need. I have an octopus power strip that is the source for many, unrelated, items. Not practical for turning off and on. So glad I have figured out what was wrong with Nikki the Necchi. She's got a fine satin stitch!
