Plugging a lower drain machine into a higher drain outlet is perfectly fine, the outlet will be able to deliver all that the machine needs. And the machine will only use up what it needs, so having excess at the outlet isn't going to hurt anything. The other way around, a machine pulling more than the outlet can deliver, will trip the breaker or blow the fuse.

Can a US sewing machine be used in UK?
The voltage in a UK outlet is about twice that of a US outlet, which means you could ruin your sewing machine trying to plug it in. In order to use your US sewing machine in the UK, you'll need to purchase a voltage converter (transformer), and then you'll need to buy a UK adapter (since the transformer plug doesn't match UK outlets).
