This weekend, our guild is sponsoring a sewing class held in the church gym. A heavy duty power cord is brought up in the center of 4 long tables with a power strip for plugging machines. So there are 4 sewers per power strip. I was told the power strip is not providing surge protection. Some people may have an iron also at their table setting.

Do I plug in my own power surge protector into the power strip? Please advise and thank you!

yes, i'd use my own in addition to their power strip

I would bring my own too. I have a single plug/appliance surge protector that stays with my sewing machine cord.

Personally the only way I would participate would be to have my own surge protector. That setup could be disastrous otherwise.

what a great idea...I'll have to look for one the next time I visit a hardware store.

I always take and use my own surge protector when I take my machine anywhere.

Bring your own.

So far I have just been bringing in a regular extension cord. Some people do bring in surge protectors to plug their machines into.

Will my surge protector be effective plugged into a power strip everyone uses?
Or
Would it be better to bring my own heavy duty power cord to run to my machine and iron and Ot light using my surge protector?
