Awesomeness
Friday, November 11, 2011 at 4:24AM I’m really hung up on the word “awesome” lately… I don’t know why but I’m starting to drive myself crazy, I sound like a thirteen year old!
;)
But this is truly, totally, utterly awesome! This sewing machine is called the Leitfaden… and I’m not entirely sure if it’s real, a concept machine, or someone just having fun.
Now it would fit into the trunk of my Miata with no problem at all. In fact, I think it could even perch in the bucket seat next to me so I could admire it while I’m driving!
I’m after Jim to design (with my input!) and build me the perfect sewing machine. Why not? He’s a senior design/mechanical engineer and a master machinist. I know exactly what I want. I have a feeling getting a prototype might cost the equivalent of a house or two though… ahem!
All metal… cast preferably, custom paint jobs… plenty of high intensity LED lighting, needle up/down, thread cutter, knee lift, start/stop button (maybe) reverse button, straight stitch only machine. Picture a Juki/Singer Featherweight mix on steroids. Sigh….

That's really cool! Totally unique. Your concept would probably retail for as much as an 830 even with all of us buying them.
"Different" concept, cool concept and rather "awesome" I might say. LOL
I hope the leitfaden doesn't cost $10K.
I think it would fit in my purse. Definitely have to add it.
Your husband could design a quilting machine on the order of your APQS, something that you could pull down from the wall, like an ironing board, and then fold back up when not in use. Or an automatic quilt system, install the quilt and a few hours later it is done all by itself, like bread. The automatic quilt maker.
I could go on, but I will quit.

I think your idea of the perfect machine for your husband to build you is a great idea.
