Brother QuattroT 6000D
If you’re still watching TV in standard definition, think about wha Brother have developed. They have just announced the world’s first sewing machine with a built-in camera to display your work on an “HD” screen.
The QuattroT 6000D seems to have some good ideas. 56 LEDs illuminate the sewing platform while its “InnovEyeT Technology” provides a bird’s eye view of the needle, which can be enlarged for a better view of precision work. Plus, the camera allows the fabric to be auto-positioned (with the help of a sensor positioning sticker) for automatic embroidery.
The screen itself, by Sharp, is a 32-(square)-inch display with 260,000 colors. It’s not quite gameday ready, but we’re sure that it tracks a mean cross stitch.
No word on price at the moment, but we may see more of the QuattroT 6000D at CES should we lose a button or become bored by endless rows of cameras and TVs.

Wow! You have to be kidding me. 🙂
Posted by mulrickillion | March 7, 2012, 12:42Kidding would require imagination. My editor told me my last story lacked imagination. So… 🙂
Posted by Craig Hill | March 7, 2012, 13:55By the way, there is a great article about rumors on the new Ipad3 that you would fit your format better than mine. Just a suggestion for you.. 🙂

Posted by mulrickillion | March 7, 2012, 14:13If I still sewed (yes, I used to make all of my clothes as well as the curtains in the house), I would love one of these.
Posted by Mona | March 7, 2012, 14:04Well, I think it may be a little over the top. I mean are you gonna watch the screen or do delicate sewing… 🙂
Posted by mulrickillion | March 7, 2012, 14:11Agreed.:-)
Posted by Craig Hill | March 7, 2012, 14:46I asked a friend who had one what it was like. She said it was just sew-sew 🙂
Sorry. Bad pun…

Posted by Mona | March 7, 2012, 15:50Your editor is damn wrong 🙂
Posted by Dugutigui | March 7, 2012, 21:50This I like … specially when the eyesight isn’t what it has been – think it’s a brilliant idea – .. but don’t like Brother’s machines – have to see what Singer comes up with to match this. Also useful when a lot of material is in the way … but I think you have to use the sawing machine a lot for it to pay.
Posted by viveka | March 7, 2012, 23:26While it may seem “over the top” and quite a bit in the new toy category, there may be some good uses for this. I am legally blind, and sewing accurately can be quite a challenge!
