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

10/10 setup

0/10 lighting

Can't quilt for shit in that light.

Grandma is cooler than me 😔

9.5/10. I don't see a knee speed controller.

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

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.

Shit, mine doesn't have a treadle...

Runs on Linux Arch.

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...

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

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.

Needs more fans

-sewing- “fucking newbs…”

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