Brother USB sewing machines

Juniper Foo | Oct 26, 2005

We don't mean it in a derogatory way when we say here's Brother with its Mickey Mouse USB sewing machine. This gizmo actually bundles 78 Disney prints in its internal memory. Other than the strange addition here, the other oddity is the fact that this sewing machine can be fully operated from a PC via USB, complete with touch-screen LCD panel. Because it's all done through the computer, new designs can be downloaded from the company's Web site which aims to update its offerings regularly with fresh designs. However, since Home Economics is a distant memory for most of us, this pricey USB accessory is likely to remain a good-to-know rather than a good-to-get.
