leaving a sewing machine in a car
Do any of you leave your sewing machines in the car when you do other things?
I have Janome Magnolia 7330 and I have often wondered if the temperature would bother the machine if I left the machine in the car if I went shopping Now today I am going to let my niece borrow it and I am wondering if it will be OK to leave in the car for a few hours during Thanksgiving dinner It will be in the 40s today what do you guys think? |
With electronic devices, it's best to avoid drastic temperature changes. 40 degrees should be fine, but the one thing you really need to do is let the machine sit for a while and come up to room temperature before starting it up.

I don't because I am concerned about condensation forming and causing problems later.
|
to be on the safe side, I would take it inside.
|
thanks guys...Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I agree. Just to be on the safe side, I would bring it inside. But then I also live in the big city and having had my husband truck broken into and my car broken into, I don't really leave anything in our vehicles.

I leave a Janome computerized machine in my car year round for class and guild sewing. I keep it in a big thermal bag, the kind you buy for food. No problem with it at all.

No problem with it at all. funny thing, my son is home from college and I asked what he thought.. he said "Mom when you order a computer from Amazon the they ship it UPS and you know UPS doesn't control the temperature of their delivery trucks - sewing machine would be the same as a computer" then he shook his head at me like I was crazy ha ha ha ha h |
I leave mine in a car during the day sometimes but I live in a very warm area so not sure if that makes a difference but haven't had any issues with my big or small machine when doing this

If the machine is in a carrier, it should be fine for a short time, however, I have heard of machines getting stolen when someone left them in the car overnight. Just for that reason, my baby goes with me where I go.
