I was thinking about making a cover for my gammill. Have any of you done this and is there a pattern somewhere that I could use? Thanks.

No pattern but its a great idea! Dust can cause problems!

I was thinking about the same thing. I'm a bit worried about all the cables staying connected tho. I have a tin lizzie. Would love to see other responses.

I started measuring yesterday and then decided I would just lay a cloth over it.

My sister has made a couple of covers for regular machines. I'll tell you what she does to see if that helps. She measures the length, height, and width of the machine (for a LA that would include the handles, laser, connections, thread holders, etc.) Add a couple of inches to the measurements to be sure it will fit easily over the machine. She constructs them like you would a tote bag without the handles, if that makes sense. And she does box the ends of the closed side. It fits ovet the machine like an upside down tote bag.
I'm thinking that it would look really good if orphaned quilt blocks were incorporated into the cover, so I might try that.

Nichole Webb made a quilted one for hers. You would have to google her to find it. It was quite 'different'. Wild colors, just like her! Pretty cool....

My Innova came with a cover. I'm not sure where it is now... I've never used it, but perhaps I should.
