Sewing and Stitchery Expo

You might not know it from surfing this Puyallup, Washington, expo's Web site, which proudly touts such cutting-edge features as a blog and an e-newsletter, but the sewing industry is rapidly turning tech savvy. Last year, Brother released the Quattro 6000D -- the iPhone 3GS of sewing machines -- which touts a Sharp HD display, embedded runway lighting, built-in digital tutorials, three USB ports, and an "InnovEye" camera that gives sewing fiends a close-up view of the needle. And sewing businesses are using the Atom, Intel's smallest processor, to mass-produce specialty patterns and logos they've downloaded onto their industrial sewing machines. Great. Now where's the app store? -- DM
