Seems simple enough to me. You just need FAST powerfull servos/steppers to make the whole process run fast and smoothly.
Add in a thread sensor for thread breakages to stop machine. Runs in macropump the function turned on when sewing off when not.
ALSO seeing how this is a simple 2d process you can restart from any line by just using "start from here" and off you will go NO NEED for run from here as they are not any modal values that change from startup
