does the magnet disrupt the electronics of modern sewing machines?

I have an brother SE-400 and have not had any problems....with it...and it lights up my throat space adequately..

I actually use mine on a scroll saw and it works fine. I bought one for my daughter to use on her sewing machine and she said that it doesn't affect the machine.

Typically, "NO." 1). The field of the permanent magnet is too weak to propagate very far beyond the ferrite attaching surface. What DOES propogate is significantly deminished. 2). The magntic field will "distort" -- to follow the attaching surface. 3). Modern, QUALITY electronics are generally sheilded as a part of their design. You are much MORE vulnerable to the "Vagaries" in your line power -- a result of a decaying, ill-maintained infrastructure.

In my experience I would say absolutely not. I'm not sure what effects the magnet theoretically could have on it (i.e. music skipping or something), but I have close to 2,200 songs on mine (16gb) and I have not seen any negative effects at all.

There is a slight possibility. I bought it for my machine. It did connect but not all the way into the machine. It still worked but, when I used it the light on the sewing machine dimmed as I was using it.

No. Only a hard drive or a tube TV are in danger of damage from this magnet.

Yes, but here is the proof. Sherry is also associate director of the Rogers Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center and a radiology professor at the university's Southwestern Medical Center. In other words, he's got plenty of magnetic experience for our purposes. He heard us out and politely corrected our assumption about the relationship between the strength of the magnet and its power over the data on the stripe. "The field strength isn't all that important," he said. "Even the refrigerator magnet should work eventually." So what was the deciding factor? Exposure time. "It is well known that magnets will wipe out information on credit card stripes," Sherry said. "However, it doesn't always happen after one exposure. It may take several exposures for the card to be deactivated, but it will happen eventually."

This motor is designed for industrial sewing machines which have a treddle/pedal to control the speed. It is wired for 120 Volt AC current. Don't try to use this on any other sewing machine unless it's an industrial heavy duty with a table and pedal.

@Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics. Personally I believe that the magnets in this product are not strong enough to cause damage to most modern electrical devices. Plasma, LED, and LCD computers, TVs, phones etc do not suffer from the same issues that the older "big" TVs used to (they are "solid-state"). However, you might want to exercise a bit of caution by not placing the entire box of tiles on top of a computer hard drive. Hard drives can be damaged by magnetic fields. @Sherry - I can only speak to having a cell phone and an older iPod near the tiles -- and the tiles did not create any sort of problem with those electronics.

No. The only thing the machine actually does is have the set of barbed needles go up and down felting together whatever you have set under them. There is no thread and the space where the bobbin case would be on a sewing machine simply catches the lint from the felting process. It does create a substantial amount of lint while you are working. Learning to NOT move the fabric until the needles start and to stop moving before the needle stop is very important in not breaking needles. I have never broken a needle but I am very careful. Probably watching a YouTube demo would help. Very nice machine.

In that case the magnet bends rays of radiation. I have three and it hadn't caused an issue to my knowledge. Also I think the manufacturer addresses that question because I remember researching that before I purchased it.

Magnets aren't an issue for solid state memory like thumb drives, SD cards, SSDs, and the Kindle use. Most magnets in your house won't even have an affect on modern magnetic hard drives. The issue with magnets was, mostly, in relation to floppy discs and cassette tapes. These days it is almost entirely a non-issue. In fact, some Kindle models use a magnet-activated on-off so that cases like this one will turn them off when closed and on when opened.

Depends what you are sewing, if it is seams, yes but for regular sewing no. Kind of like a microwave and a kitchen oven. A microwave is fast but the food texture is different than in a oven. So, it is nice to have both

I've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

I have not used on sewing machine, but do not see why not. both are small motors and it is make for that, and good amount of oil in the bottle.

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

I highly doubt the magnet is strong enough to affect it. It shouldn't be a worry :)

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.
