What's your alternative? Watching TV night after night? Yes, take the machine. I took mine with me on a trip. Luckily, there was a iron and ironing board in the room and I was able to iron the seams as I sewed. I set my machine up on the "business desk" in the room and put my cutting board on the ironing board. I did this for about three days and had a great time.
