There are dozens of videos dating back over 12 years of people hacking old analog sewing
machines by adding different kinds of home-brewed digital automation hardware and
software.
It's definitely on my bucket list of DIY projects and that of other people on the
official Arduino forum.

Hello everyone, this is an Arduino UNO based setup, very cheap, I used an old brother
embroidery machine, took out all the electronics and other assemblies and kept the basic
mechanical setup needed for a stitch, for hoop and 2D stepper motor bed I found an old
accessory at a scrap shop, then combined the two and added some electronics with the
Arduino and bring old junk to life, I'll cover more details in another video, if any
one is interested in code, mention in comments.
