    I don’t think I’ve ever seen my job in a movie. The only place I could imagine industrial embroidery ever showing up on screen would be as the setting for a chase scene or something.

      I wanna see the flight scene in one of those shops now where someone gets embroidered during the fight.

      I also work with industrial embroidery machines (not directly, we just have them at work) so I know the like 10 seconds under a needle wouldn’t be enough time to do anything really, but I’m imagining a room full of machines making military name strips, hero blocks a goons punch and shoves his hand under a needle while the goon yells in agony. Camera focuses on how horrified face as he lifts his hand to reveal “Maj. Payne” embroidered across his hand. The goon then faints.
