newfangled sewing machine

I don't think I'd buy this, too many what-ifs and unknowns, but I'm fascinated at how far someone was thinking outside the box.

Ok, the folding sewing machine might be worth having....but the ink transfer machine, not too sure about. Looks like it uses an ink cartridge, not sure if it would be economical.

these are so cool! i would just about bet that these are prototypes and may never go into production. they probably fulfilled someone's masters thesis in product design!

Wow, I love the look of that machine! What do you think your mother/grandmother would have said back many decades, if you had shown her one of today's electronic machines? What if you could go back and tell her you'd be having instant conversations with quilters all around the world the way we do here? Maybe it's in the future. Who knows what's ahead?
