i seem to remember reading something about using magnetic seam guides on computer sewing machines, but don't remember if we should or shouldn't.
i know there are a few people that repair machines on here.
should i use it or not.
could you please give me your opinion.
thank you in advance.
ps. i also wear a magnetic bracelet, should i take it off.

i've just done a bit of fishing around on the internet. while magnets and computers still do not work and play well together, the magnet has to be fairly powerful to do any damage. old fashioned CRT monitors might also be damaged by a magnet.
that said, i would not put a magnet on or near a computerized sewing machine, or attach it directly to anything "computerized". why take chances?

Instead of using a magnetic seam guide you can use something like this:
