Quattro 6000D [Humble Sewing Machine Goes Hi-Tech]

In a first for this blog, we bring to you a sewing machine so advanced that… ummm it lets you stitch and mend clothes faster with more options for patterns and types of stitches. Now, know that sewing machines are gadgets too and there are men out there who are as enthused about their Jukis and Singers as others amongst us are about our iPods and BlackBerrys.

The Quattro 6000D is a feature-packed sewing machine which takes a little more than 4 feet of space (which is actually a lot of space). In my opinion as an ex-textiles engineer a small garments job-working business could be comfortably run from home if you have two of these monsters to work with.

A 4.5 x 7-inch Sharp HD LCD display gives you a clear view of the patterns you are creating. The display is made possible by the InnovEye and Up-Close Viewer technology which places a camera close to the needle. Embedded lighting on the runway lets you view the stitch area with greater clarity. The machine has three USB ports so that you can download embroidery instructions and patterns from the net, plug them to the machine and create designs based on them.

The Quattro 6000D is not yet out in the market and there is no information on price but it appears that only garment houses and fashion designers will be able to absorb the cost of this baby, at least during the first few rounds of selling.
