The latest piece of tech in the war on grandmas has gotta be Brother's Quattro 6000D sewing machine, a beastly machine with specs that will help even the most diligent granny patch up those quilts or ripped teddies more efficiently. Once you get past the huge 50-inch workspace, you'll notice the 4.5 x 7-inch <a href="http://www.switched.com/tag/sharp" target="_blank">Sharp</a> HD LCD display and embedded runway lighting. Brother's "InnovEye" and "Up-Close Viewer" technology places a camera right next to the needle to give the user a birds-eye view on the LCD to allow perfect placement before stitching. Advanced embroidery features and built-in tutorials should certainly mitigate any mishaps, and should you get the urge to plug every flash drive you own into it, there are 3 USB ports. From our perspective, it looks like the hardest part will be getting this monster home from the store and finding a place to store it -- and what to attack with embroidered flowers first. No word on price or release date yet, but there are a few more glamor shots after the break.<p><a href="http://www.switched.com/2009/01/02/the-quattro-6000d-this-aint-your-grandmommas-sewing-machine/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Quattro 6000D: This Ain't Your Grandmomma's Sewing Machine</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.switched.com/category/computers/" rel="tag">Computers</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.switched.com/2009/01/02/the-quattro-6000d-this-aint-your-grandmommas-sewing-machine/">The Quattro 6000D: This Ain't Your Grandmomma's Sewing Machine</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.switched.com">Switched</a> on Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:12:00 EST.
