Howdy from Texas & welcome to the boards. You will learn a lot here as I've found very knowledgeable & helpful quilters on this board.
I never cover my machine but I would recommend you get a good surge protector for it if you don't have one already. Right now I don't have a surge protector so I always unplug my machine when I'm not using it. You never know when an electrical surge or storm will come up & ruin the inside of your computerized machine.
