Micah Elizabeth Scott, best known for her latest work on a tremine style wireless control for a popular vibra toy, also published a lot of interesting DIY hacking projects over the last years. One of these projects is a complete redesign of an old school Sewing Machine, Micah Elizabeth Scott originally bought to produce fabric based RFID tags. Micah soon found out that on her Singer Inspiration 4210 sewing machine she could update some low-end electronic parts, such as motor and sensors, in order to get better results.
