LindaJ Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hi everyone, We're posting some pictures of our attachment here. It works using various combinations of gears, much like a spirograph. It might look a little complex, but it's really very simple. The second picture just shows the various gear cartridges. The first and third pictures actually give you a better look at how it's attached to the sewing machine. Once you've selected the gear cartridge you want, and centered your block, all you do is turn the crank, and the attachment does the rest. There are a total of 126 different patterns, ranging in size from 4" to 14" in diameter. You can also do an infinite number of really neat designs by combining patterns and sizes. We're working on a series of drawings that show the size and shape of each, so that you can simply find the one you want, and load it in. We've got the ball rolling with a patent attorney. We're thinking about trying to sell around 6 or 8 of these as pilot models (at cost), to give us an opportunity to get real world feedback about what's good and what's not so good. Like we said before, we think it's just right, but we're probably a little biased. Thanks again for all of the interest. Happy Holidays.

Nadia Wilson Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi Linda and Adam, This is very interesting...will it fit/work on a Lenni table too? I have the Lenni table that breaks down in two 5" pieces. The wheels are vertical (up/down) on the Lenni and the wheels run along a track ontop of the tabletop. I would be interested in this attachment for my Lenni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaJ Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Nadia and Coleen, We're sure it can be mounted on a Lenni or an HQ16, (or any other machine) but we haven't had a chance to look at machines other than the millenium in detail. Any chance you could send us some photos showing your sewing machine, wheels, and table? Thanks. Linda lindaj3@netins.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
