It's got RGB. Man, it must do so much FPS (fabric per second).

That looks like an old Singer table with a new machine on top.

My grandma used to have one at the farm, that was the original, and powered by the pedal you see at the bottom

'fun fact' - the ivory bill wood pecker's habitat was entirely within the tract of land that Singer company used to make these tables. Didn't work out for the ivory bills at all. They are entirely extinct

For a brief moment in history, they sure created a lot of shareholder value.

The funny part - I use that term loosely - is that the ivory bill was very closely related to pileated wood pecker which is a noisy as fuck bird. There are people out in the swamps of the Singer Tract looking for them like bigfoot hunters. They insist that the bird is very reclusive now.

Honestly, I wish I had properly learned how to use that thing when I was younger.

I taught myself to sew by hand just fine and it's a useful skill in life for various smaller stuff, repairs, etc.
Still, the machine would make a few things much easier.

The machine does not agree with me.

Wind the bobbin, set the back tension and go :)

I recently bought a Brother Innov-IS and found it really easy to get started with. Didn't think I would enjoy sewing this much.

Got to have that high thread count, burst rate throughout. Does it have the cooled bobbin?

Does she also have the force feedback pedal?

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

She needs better lighting or she'll go blind.

The wife doesn't agree but since our sewing machine is next to our gaming area the sewing machine station is going to look like this soon

Redundant power supply too!

Wait! Is the backup power supply compatible?

[–] Shawdow194@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair their rigs usually cost more than ours....
