The machine will be harmed before the iron will. This is important if you plug a iron to the same ext plugs at a class as your machine.
My friends and I take retreats at a hotel on the coast. A member of our group is part owner of the hotel, and when they bought it, they remodeled the conference room specifically with quilters in mind. 😁 The electrician put in dedicated outlets just for irons all over the floor, they're easy to locate because he installed red receptacles. This hotel is nearly always booked 100% full, which is amazing for that industry. There's a local woman who hosts retreats and classes at the hotel almost every weekend all year except during summer, when they are full with weddings and vacationers. I wish more hotels would get smart and do this!
