OK, dangit, show us how it works, I am interested too. Who the hell cares about the quilts. |
Stepper motors are the key.
There's a big one on the end of his frame that runs what appears to be two belts that provide the 'X' axis motion to the sewing machine head. The 'Y' motion is controlled by a smaller motor located at the back of the cradle and runs the same kind of 'belts'.
All the motion is controlled by the computer which also controls how fast the machine head stitches.
Just imagine a CNC machine moving over fabric instead of metal. Same idea only it isn't 'cutting' anything.
First time I saw an embroidery machine run I had to buy it it was so cool to see working. Just think of this 'frame' only on a size that fits in table top machine.
