Line Printer for Sewing-Machine

As a person who's sewing my own cloth, I always have to know which color thread to be bought and which colors are the most important for me. I'm also facing problems like ending up with 'missing exact color threads' situation, storing unwanted threads and tired of changing the sewing machine’s roll of thread to the appropriate color. Solution is 'Line Printer' is a small device that allows the color of sewing-machine thread to be customized. Line Printer was designed to ‘print’ thread with colour on demand. A small built-in camera is used to photograph the fabric, and then colour-picking software determines the ideal shade for the thread. Small CMKY ink cartridges are contained within Line Printer, and system is calibrated to print on white thread. Line Printer sits on the top of the sewing machine and the thread is fed through it directly off the spool.
