How Important to Cover Machine?
#33
I'm in the "not cover" camp. I really haven't figured out how to cover the Janome 8900 without unthreading and removing the cone holder and that's a pain, ditto with the Brother 1500s. I keep the three other machines in a closet when not in use -- uncovered, but somewhat protected.

I cover everything. The Siamese loves to go "chomp" on thread. If she doesn't see it, it doesn't exist.
I've caught her perched on my Babylock Imagine serger. Most of her was on the spools. Serger was covered. Plastic cover and towels.

I live in the high desert up on the hill above the city. Yes I keep mine covered especially when the winds are blowing the slit dust into the house. It comes in though any tiny opening it can. I dust and within half a week you can write your name in the dust over most everything. I made dust covers for my clothing closets too.
So, yes I cover my machine every night and when it is not in use. (Mine are berninas)

I rarely remember to cover mine. Only when I totally clean up my sewing area when we are having guests... I sew in one end of our family room, and that happens to be where we set up the kid's table for family birthday parties and get togethers.
