I am sure it has been discussed in the past, but I really like to have your input. Do you leave your computerized sewing machine on or off if you stop sewing for a few minutes to do pressing or some additional cutting? Thanks for your replies.

On. I turn it off when I am finished sewing what needs to be done. Most times if I have been sewing and then need to make dinner and I know I will finish the sewing after dinner, I will turn it off, but every once in a while I see I forget to.

i leave mine on for short periods of inactivity. if it's going to be hours, i turn it off. just the way i was trained, i guess

Trapunta

I agree with patsan and QuiltnNan. I leave it on for brief breaks (1/2 hour or less), and turn it off for long ones.

Same here. I leave it on, but if I'm going to go do something else then I turn it off. And, I always unplug it when I'm done with it just in case.

when I turn my machine on I usually leave it on for the day if I am working on something all day. It will be on without sewing for 15 minutes to an hour depending on what I am doing. When I think I am calling it a day then I shut it off

NZquilter

I do the same.

lynnie

same here. when i'm done, i'm done. if i'm working on something and need to iron, I leave it on, and go back.

My Bernina has a Eco button that puts the machine to sleep and saves whatever was set. A very nice feature so you don't have to reset stitch and needle position every time you leave the machine for other tasks.

Mine stays on. It has an auto shutoff feature.
