Does anyone who lives near an airport in a low-flying area, have problems, or heard of problems, with their TV and/or computerized sewing machine(s) ??
I heard from someone in a chat room with problems... and their neighbors have problems... and I wondered if its something that is happening in the sewing machine field that we havent heard much about... YET... ?

A naval air station was within a half mile of here until last year. I have an A-1 hand guided longarm and a Pfaff Quiltstyle. My Pfaff takes programmed monograms and embroidery stitches. My longarm is stitch regulated. I've never had any machine problems or interference from any aircraft flyovers.

I'm in amateur radio and radio frequency interference is a BIG deal near airports. Essentially, anything that is wireless can interfere with airplanes.
That would explain the TV complaints, but computerized sewing machines???? That's a new one for me! As long as the sewing machine is not sending or receiving wireless transmissions, there is nothing to worry about.
If we start getting sewing machines that act like iPads... all bets are off.

I.E. the lady with the problem said her Bernina *screen* went blank and quit, and she unplugged and replugged and the screen didnt come back.
If the airwaves are using or testing some new technology that can cause problems with computerized sewing machines, temporarily or permanently... we need to know about it....

... OR A REFRIGERATOR... I remember a Dummies book asking a simple question, from a new-to-computers viewpoint... ***How does a computer know its not a refrigerator* ?? (i.e. what happens inside the electronics so an electronic thingie knows what it IS ????****
