Process control in next-generation sewing machines : a project overview

The sewing machine created in the XIX century has roughly remained unchanged in its basic technologies. Although a great range of mechanical and electronic technologies has boosted its development enormously, the process of sewing itself, however, although perfected in many aspects, has remained uncontrolled.Many of the phenomena occurring at high-speed sewing (up to 10000 stitches per minute) are still not properly understood.
