A simple Embroidery machine using an XY belt and pinion drive to drive a hoop under a standard sewing machine. Needle timing, machine power and stepper control are all provided by a PIC processor. A tablet provides the higher level formatting required for communicating with the PIC chip.

    Amazing. How much do you suppose you have into the project? The quality appears to be better than what I have seen in some of the "entry-level" machines I have seen.

    Hi, Thanks for the positive remarks :). I guess I must have spent about £150 with most of that going on the relatively expensive (but excellent) V-Slot parts. I started about three months ago - but most development was done in the evening while the wife was watching TV!

    Awesome build! It's cool to see an "outside the norm" OpenBuilds project.
