belOga comes with a big "O", and an even bigger circular touch-screen which replaces the usual scheme of buttons and controls. This sewing machine concept was designed by Kristine Brückner, an industrial design graduate from the Munich's University of Applied Sciences with an impressive portfolio.
Apart from its less than ordinary shape, the belOga makes sewing more fun. By laying in a spool of thread the machine automatically conducts the thread through the machine - all you have to do is put the thread through the needle to get started. The centre display allows you to see what the stitch will look like in advance, this means less unpleasant stitching surprises. You can even enjoy the inner life of the belOga through two little lenses on the side of the body.
Kristine notes that the belOga is not yet in production, so feel free to drop her a message (male.diven@gmx.de) if you know anyone who is not afraid to spice up the backstage of fashion!

Please let me know when it is available..I gotta have one ! :-)
Go to production if possible.. I think it's a keeper!!
Great little machine to travel with.
As far as a previous post of how it would work with no bobbin, chainstitch. There are a few vintage machines that were chainstitchers.
Does the machine use a bobbin? It would be great if it doesn't need one but I can't quite figure out how that would work. What a great imagination to see sewing in a new way. You are a talent!
