[sudo-discuss] heavy duty sewing machine of some sort available near sudo room

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Needless to say - if one of the non-experts could pop over and take some
pictures, that would help as well! At least that way someone better
informed could at least verify it's a type that would be useful (if not
whether it's *working*...)

Thanks!

Patrik
