According to the present invention there is provided a method of projecting images of sewing patterns as templates onto fabrics. The contemplated application for the invention includes sewist making an article of clothing. As such, images of the patterns to be sewn are stored in a storage device for latter access from a computing device that sends them to a projecting device for projection. The projecting devices is then positioned, graduated, calibrated, and set for optimizing the cutting of the fabric. Thereafter, the operator may interactively modify the projected image, and as such initiates the cutting of the fabric, in accordance to the projected sewing patterns.

An operation state ascertaining unit of a sewing machine ascertains an operation state of a sewing machine main body. A content information selection unit selects particular content information that corresponds to the operation state ascertained by the operation state ascertaining unit from among multiple content information stored in an operation-associated content information storage unit that stores multiple content information corresponding to the operation state. An instruction information appending unit appends additional information with respect to instruction content for the main body to the content information selected by the content information selection unit. A coding unit codes the selected content information to which the additional information has been appended by the instruction information appending unit. A display unit displays the content information coded by the coding unit. Subsequently, a reader unit of a terminal apparatus reads the coded content information, and a display unit displays the content thus read.

A product including a sock implement made by a sock knitting process, in which the sock implement is made from a non-slippery material. A reflexology map section being disposed on a proximate bottom portion of the sock implement, wherein a reflexology map is woven into the sock implement at the reflexology map section to maintain an integrity of said reflexology map after multiple washes. An indicator of at least a plurality of pressure points, wherein said woven reflexology map is configured to produce a variation in texture at proximate edges of each pressure point as a tactile boundary with the plurality of thread materials having different textures.

A sewing simulator apparatus adapted for use with a sewing machine includes a tracing tool and a practice template. The tracing tool is configured to be selectively coupled to a head of the sewing machine. The practice template has practice lines configured to be traced by the operator with the tracing instrument of the tracing tool to allow the operator to practice sewing with the sewing machine.
