Nissin the company that also makes high-end motorcycle brakes and automotive transmissions, had a Mac based embroidery machine in the early '90's.
It was meant for consumer use and had a roughly 8-inch dia. work area. It had 7 or 8 thread colors that it could use. It used Mac PICT graphics. The embroiderer was controlled through the chooser and acted like an odd sized printer.
I remember seeing it working at a small Macintosh show in Los Angeles in the early '90s. I thought it was cool.
