  Thanks to AI needing so many threads, I’m sure parts are getting hard to find

    the things are single threaded so the hardware is still pretty cheap. Now a surger on the otherhand, prices are SKYROCKETING!

    Right, you’d see it in the morning and the colors would all be way off

      I thought it was white and gold but people say it’s black and blue.

  She can sew RGB lighting into your ugly Christmas sweater now.

  But that’s a modern sewing machine sitting on an ancient sewing machine (assuming its anything like the Singer table pop-up thing my Nana had when she was around).

  That footpedal is the drive for the needle

  • flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Oh, maybe it’s cables and a rubber mat? …It looks like the wrought iron(ish?) foot pedal, at least.

    Thanks for the nostalgia! I needed to think of Nana again

  To look at? Coolest shit in the block

  To use? I struggle sewing with full midday sunlight, I can’t imagine being able to see shit with a strongly colored backlight…

  Lookin’ good!

  No joke though, I currently have my sewing machine sitting in front of the secondary PC in our family room. I have found sewing to be up there with other non-tech hobbies like building things with wood, digging in the dirt, and taking care if my animals as far as brain health and sensory satisfaction.

  I’m a middle aged cishet dad of a boy, too. I just bought the thing last year for some fun crafty projects we had in mind.

    I’ve always been into techy hobbies and some of the crafty stuff goes right along. I have a Silhouette machine, a laser cutter, and a couple 3D printers.

    Been eyeballing embroidery machines lately, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

  Is the blue light to discourage her from IV drug use?

  source
• BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Hot swap cantalivere bobbin tray, titanium alloy thread guides, and a custom built fully geared mechanical foot pedal.

  I’d love to watch that thing eat a belt lol, it’s a beast.

  A stylish mix of classic and modern, but I think it has practicality issues like where to place the modern machines foot pedal?
