Edge of Emulation: Game Boy Sewing Machines (2020)
I wasn't sure whether this was emulating the sewing machine, or driving an actual sewing machine from the emulator -- it's the latter.

Followup request - digital emulated sewing machine! Should be a breeze based on the blog!

In the video at the end you can see it’s the former. They’re drawing a digital representation of the commands the emulator is sending to the “sewing machine”.
If you can emulate the sewing machine... can you run it fast enough to run a GB emulator inside of it? : )
I had no idea you could connect a Game Boy to a sewing machine. The Mario embroidery patterns actually look kind of cute now that they are working. It is nice to see people preserving weird pieces of history like this.

Wow crazy that there aren’t more screenshots of the actual software UI that’s what I was really hoping for here
