Default Future of Sewing Machines?

Amazing....folds up to the size of a laptop. How nice would this be to take to classes or streamlining a sewing space?

There are many different "prototype" sewing machines on this site so look around at the other designs and articles for the sewing world. Fun, interesting site for sewers.

I don't know about others my age, but I just hate having to change anything in my life. I love my old Bernina. I just can see the concept of everything folding up and unfolding and still working. I guess I am stuck in the past.

oh, great, one more machine for my collection. When can we classify it as "vintage"?

Fascinating! Where do you access the bobbin? I want one! But they will probably cost an arm and a leg.

I think it's kind of cool. I'd love to see it in action.

Well prices usually start out high, then get cheaper after a while. But not sure if that applies so much in the sewing industry. Technology is everywhere!

Actually the price of vintage machines seems to be skyrocketing...Old machines running in the hundred? That sounds high to me, then add parts, etc.
