Not into machines, but if I were, the last thing I'd need is having to download regular updates to it in order to keep it working.

Ah yes, I can see it now... Wireless cards in sewing machines, downloading patches for firmware vulnerabilities and insecure open ports visible to hackers using the Shogun IoT scanner..

Hack into it and set the throttle full bore max speed!  Watch the operator with a built-in camera when the machine takes off.

Forget about hackers, the worst enemy now is the manufacturer itself! Want your machine to spy on you? Sending packets back to the mothership with info on how many stitches you do per day, types of thread, and even your picture and fingerprints? :o

Ha!  Watched that movie again last fall, and the 2010 one as well.

Wiz, can you wire up my Landis #1 for me??  A nice LCD screen or something?

God bless and good night.

I guess that's what they said in 1790 it will never take off, we dont need sewing machines

1790: The First Detailed Design

The history of the sewing machine & who invented it essentially starts here. Englishman Thomas Saint designed the first sewing machine of its kind. The patent described a machine powered with a hand crank to be used for leather and canvas. Nobody knows if Saint built a prototype, but in 1874, William Newton Wilson found the patent drawings. They were so detailed, he built a replica, proving that it did work.
