What's funny is she uses a PC with a CAD program for quilting and a computer controlled "sewing machine" with zero issues. And she's never caused a 2M HT to lock up.
In our case she does things the old fashioned way, and I've seen some of the results. Quite the seamstress! Her sister next door has one of those computerized sewing machines and has had lots of trouble with it. Watching videos like Big Clive tearing things down it amazes me how they're sticking a microcontroller chip in so much stuff these days. Never had an HT lock up...
