Towards a P2 controlled Embroidery Machine?

Hi,
for some time I have been wondering, if I should try an embroidery machine. This should not be extremely difficult, I think. You need a sewing machine, some electronics to start and stop it, and an XY-table plus some sort of synchronising, because you need to move the table only when the needle is up. Actually you can find some fine projects in the net.

So it's possible to do it.
At the moment I am at some brainstorming stage and I have not yet decided to really do it. (Only thing is, that I learned, that I have to start earlier than last year, if I want to make Christmas presents....)
Has anyone here tried this?
Comments, suggestions?

Seems to be a good idea, to look at the entire CAD/CAM chain. There are some tools available: https://inkstitch.org/
Machine has to be able to process the output format of inkstitch.
