I received an email this morning, that I found to be very interesting. It's like one stop shopping for cutting & sewing appliques.

Interesting Linda. Hadn't seen anything like that before. :-)

Thank you,

Wow! Bet that's a pricey item. Of course everything is relative. Interesting though.

Wow, that is really neat. I would love to see that in action. I will have to look for them when I go to one of the Printwear shows this year.

Since I sell retail, I am always looking for something everyone else doesn't have or do.

Makes you kinda wonder how many pieces do you have to produce to make it profitable. I think I'll continue to cut out with my laser & use the old spray glue & sew method. Can't you just imagine the wrong settings & burning holes is 6 NIKE jackets at a time. I get chills just thinking about it. 8-O

I'm guessing that if you have a dozen or more embroidery machines running constantly doing repetitive jobs (ie: thousands of the same item) then it might be cost effective by cutting out the wages of several operators. It's certainly an industrial scale machine.

I couldn't find any price range mentioned on the web, but I did see that the small version weighs in at around 9,000 pounds.

At 9000 lbs, I don't think my living room floor would hold up :)

I doubt I would ever be in a position to buy one myself, I could certainly try and find someone that uses the technology to sub out some work.

Yeah, I'm guessing this isn't really for the home or small shop. ;-)
