Fading are the days of old school sewing and embroidery machines. This product category seems to be embracing digital nearly as much as other household items like your frig. One of the latest digital sewing machines is the HUSQVARNA VIKING DESIGNER SE Limited Edition, which comes with a a large touch screen display.

The HUSQVARNA VIKING DESIGNER SE Limited Edition sports a VGA touch screen which keeps track of an embroiderer’s changes by showing it on-screen. It can automatically trim jump stitch threads while embroidering, locate an exact stitch number in a design and let you know how long it will take to stitch out a color in the design. You can even load designs and projects into its memory via a USB stick which can be updated over the Internet with new innovations and projects.

Now I know most of us probably won’t buy a sewing machine unless it has an iPod dock. I have to admit though that if I was into sewing this machine might be the one for me. It definitely beats “knit one, pearl two.”
