How Important to Cover Machine?
Hello!
I'm a newbie to the board and somewhat of a newbie to quilting. I made my first quilt in the fall of 2014 and haven't stopped since
I had been piecing and machine quilting on my little $80.00 Brother XM 2701 using a walking foot.
However, yesterday I purchased a Juki 2010Q. This was a pricey purchase for me and I want to protect my investment.
I will be using it almost daily, and will do my regular oiling and cleaning. Do I still need to cover when not in use?
Thank you,
KBART

I do keep my machine covered mostly to keep it from getting dusty or getting any other dirt on or in it. Good that you are going to take such good care of the new one by regular oiling and cleaning. The cover would just be added protection.

Some houses are more dusty than others. I have three dogs so in a week, things will be dusty. My machine has a plastic cover you just throw over the top of it.
It wouldn't be a big deal to make a cover out of fabric that you just slip over it. Oil will always attract dust which means more wear and tear on your machine between the times you're able to clean it.
