When I bought this house and knew my sewing room would be in the basement I had my electrician do just that, add the outlet in the ceiling so I wouldn't trip over the cords. As I have robotics installed on my system that was another cord plus the auto advance cord so 3 cords. Then I added my laptop for the webcam attached to the under side of the machine so yet another cord. I have them all plugged into a outlet on the ceiling. Its not pretty but I don't trip over them and they don't get caught on anything going back and forth on the frame. I have all my embroidery and quilting threads behind the frame so I'm back there from time to time so another reason to get them off the floor.
