This gives me something to think about and will have to remember to check out where my are plugged in at. Most of my cords run under a table or storage dresser so they are out of the way. Good tip!!

My ironing board is right next to the sewing machine, have 2 electric leads in this area. The machine itself is on a really good surge protector. BUT?..I am going to check if the iron is on the same electric connection. Thanks for the heads up. My Epic has to last me forever!!

My ironing station & my machines are in different rooms so I hope I can assume they okay. Good information to know though. If you have a thunderstorm with lightning it's also a good idea to unplug all of your electronics including sewing machines, computers, TV's etc., etc.

Thanks for the info! Just googled that question and many responses say this same thing. I always do get up to iron, now I'll add a few more steps!
Will a different outlet in the same room be alright? Some say to use a different circuit and not sure if that means not to use an outlet in same room.
