Yes, I had my electrician install a wall socket up in my rafters so I wouldn't trip over the cords. I also added a metal ring onto a galvanized pole so the cords can move with the machine. Here's a pic of my setup. Its not pretty but I haven't tripped yet. I also have a camera on my quilt machine, automatic advancement for the back roller as well as robotics so more cords to worry about so all up in the rafters.
