No Limits with Programmable Sewing

June 7, 2013 By Nadeem Muaddi 7 Comments

Auto Upholstery

We feature a lot of unique pleat designs on The Hog Ring. Some are more complex than others, but more often than not we figure them out. It’s obvious, though, which ones are handcrafted or sewn by computerized machines.

Take, for instance, this seat cover adorned with a hexagram – or Star of David – pleat executed by an EKA programmable pattern stitching machine.

Oy vey that’s complex! But it’s really just the tip of the iceberg. With machines like this, virtually any stitch pattern is possible.

Check out this bizarre wave pattern:

What do you think? Cool technology or a corruption of our craft?

    Retired… They would Be More Attractive If They Were Manyfactured And Sold By American Companys, America Dosent Manufactur Much Anymore Except Cheese Burgers…Seems China Is A few Years Ahead The Patterns Would Have Shown Up Better In The Clip If The Material Being Sewn Was A Light Color. If I Were Still Working One Would Be On My Need List. It Has To Be A Need For Some Of Us We Are Not To Want Anything.
