What To Do With Your Embroidery Machine When Disaster Strikes Before, During and After
Flooding. Hurricanes. Tornadoes.
Severe weather can hit fast—and hard. When it does, your embroidery machine and equipment are among your business's most valuable assets. Here's how to protect them before, during, and after a weather emergency.

Review Your Insurance Coverage
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Ensure your equipment is fully covered before storm season begins. Talk to your insurance agent about flood and equipment protection.

Protect Your Embroidery Machine
Cover it with a waterproof tarp, and most importantly, unplug it completely. Power surges or water exposure while plugged in can cause permanent damage.
Relocate Smaller Equipment
Unplug and move smaller machines, power supplies, and control boxes to a higher, secure area where rising water or leaks are less likely to affect them.

We Can't Stress This Enough!
If your embroidery machine has been exposed to water, do NOT turn it on. Let it dry out completely and contact your distributor or technician immediately for an inspection. Turning it on too soon could short the electronics or void your warranty.

A disaster plan can save you thousands in repair and replacement costs—and keep your business running when it matters most.
