Schiffli Machine
A HUGE multi needle sewing machine that I have am lucky to be able to try this Wednesday.
It has just over 80 needles that stitch at the same time..
I had a test run recently and using it feels like driving a huge steam engine..it clonks and squeaks and thuds in a very satisfying way..at the touch of a button....
