I had the ridiculous thought "It's probably just four servos to move the stitch selector arm, length, width & speed dials... I could drive them with arduino+bluetooth and an app!"

@NNN Having grown up with a belt-driven treadle-powered Singer, whose treadle would break your toes if you stuck 'em underneath, I find these microprocessor-controlled models amazing. A reminder that they were once new! We had one that could stitch a little dog figure.

I love to watch the computerized embroidery machines in operation at the State Fair.

The sewing machine is one of the great inventions; they've come a long way.
