I think you are all missing something here. The purpose of the technology is that it is WiFi connected. Which works basically if you have an android or Apple I-Pad, smart phone, etc. That's when the camera comes into play, it is activated by the ap which you download off the internet. The ap has other capabilities which include the option of downloading more stitches, I assume, fonts and other items which they did not address. These would be downloaded to your device and saved, much as patterns are now. Having wi-fi connection would mean you could also download and listen to audio books, watch Youtube, view tutorials, listen to music, or tv, without having other devices such as a tv's, stereo's, or whatever you enjoy. The camera viewing your stitches would not be shared by anyone other than the sewer. My main concern is, what will the vibration of sewing do to the device over time? My I-Pad costs more than this sewing machine. I am not recommending this product, but will leave all options on the table as I follow the responses from users. I can see where I would use the machine, if I didn't have to sell some of the ones I have now.LOL

Sassy...am I understanding you to say that you can download a quilting motif and then the machine would stitch it out?
If that's what you're saying, then Spiegel is missing out on advertising the best part of the machine!
As for the vibration while sewing..if your machine is on a sturdy surface, it shouldn't be vibrating...a lot of the high end longarms have the same set up with an Ipad mounted right on top of the machine..I haven't heard any problems about them..

I am blessed to buy any machine I want when I want it. I recently bought a Brother Project Runway from Walmart. I love it. It has all the features I wanted for a new machine to tote about. The Bernina dealer was miffed I didn't buy a new Bernina from her (I have a nice Bernina). I told her to match the price per feature, have a 30 day return policy or leave me alone about it.

I would love to have wi-fi on my machine. That way I could watch tutorials as many times as i wanted while
working on a project. It would be so handy to have it right there.
Of course it will be years before i see anything like that tho. LOL

Wouldn't a laptop sitting right next to it do the same thing?

camera
Maybe this is the way of the future. No more taking machine into shop. You will just send a video saying this is what my machine is doing, "grin".
I still don't understand the purpose of the camera.....and as far as it being " cheap", Walmart product, brother-type....I sometimes read some of the comments here and wonder how elitist some can be.......I am a Walmart shopper for the most part, because not much else conveniently close to me...and although I did buy a sewing machine from a "dealer", I initially did purchase a high end brother from Walmart, returned it because of some of the comments here, went out and spent much more at a dealer, and some days regret not keeping the brother, which did the same for less$$$. I do have a brother runway, Walmart purchase, for travel, classes, retreats and don't regret buying it....but again to each his own....but I personally cannot "knock" the less expensive items, sometimes big things do come in little packages.....
