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 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.
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
