Now There's an Interesting notion. Makes me wonder just how many hours an
SM made today can be reasonably expected to last. I know, I know. There
are Singers and others a hundred years old or more that are still going
but they weren't made with plastic and computer board things.
I did put about a million miles on a beloved Bernina 1230 before she
went quite goofy. She stitches for DDIL now - who only does straight
stitches and they are fast friends.
Maybe I'm going to *need* a new sm soon. I might could make somebody
believe that. Polly

A customer of my sewing machine dealer does work like this. When she
traded in her machine, I heard the dealer say that she had so many
hours on it there was no way they could resell the machine!

In good conscience, I feel it's my Duty to save $ 4,230.00. LOL.
OTOH, I can just barely function with a simply l-needle embroidery
machine. Those 'big girl' toys scare the stuffing out of me. Y'all just
carry on and I'll be the cheering squad. Polly

Here's one way she may have done it.... Pfaff has a new machine out
with a system called "Shape Creato Applique," which is all done in
the embroidery hoop. "this sewing and embroidery machine automatically
places the stitch or design of your choice around the entire shape.
All you have to do is trim away the fabric – and you’re done."

That is pretty darned smart - if I had a machine like that, I would use
this feature.

For those not bothered to look up the manual: you choose from some
pre-programmed shapes, straight stitch on the background fabric, line up
the applique to cover the straight stitch and attach the applique with
another line of sewing (could be with a fancy stitch, made to fit).
Well, that was my understanding, glancing the one'page description in
the manual.
