How long was golden thread used for embroidery?

Monday, May 31st, 2010

A weaver embroidered a cloth with golden thread according to the pattern shown here:

The pattern consists of infinitely many yellow circles. Grey circle at the center and six tangent straight lines are NOT a part of the embroidery, they only serve to show how the pattern was constructed. Six large golden circles, and one large grey circle in the center all have diameters equal to 1, and all circles and lines are tangent whenever possible.

What would be the best embroidery machine for starting a small “baby clothes” business?

My mom and I are thinking about starting a small business doing embroidery (custom-made to order) on baby-kids items. I am slightly overwhelmed in the selection of embroidery machines! I know that we want one that has the ability to be hooked up to the computer for additional templates. Price really isn’t a factor in the decision making. We also want one that has a big enough area to do larger items, like bloomers, or tee shirts and even bags if possible. if any one has any ideas that would great!
