:thumbdown: I have used a old Singer on the generator BUT-BUT any thing that has a computer i would NOT. because the power surge-res will mess up your computerized sewing machine. my Janome had electric issues------ and it cost me 750:00 to fix a mother board. i always keep my machine on a GFI, and unplug it during a storm. :(

I would think it would depend on the size of generator & what else it is supporting.
If you do go that route be sure to have generator outside for proper ventilation!!! Having it in a garage is not good enough - there were some deaths due fumes here in Maine last summer. :cry:

Maybe the whole house kind. Here in Fla a lot of us have generators due to hurricanes, but they can be lethal because of the gas fumes and carbon monoxide. We use ours only for essentials. My suggestion if this happens often is invest in a treadle.:)
