[sudo-discuss] Sewing machines

[Jake]

Hi Helen,

the truth is that there is no one in charge of the sewing machines, and if 
you feel qualified to work on them and improve them, you should go ahead 
and do that.  If you can document what you're doing, it will help if you 
can either do that on paper by the machines, or preferably by editing the 
sudoroom wiki.  If you are not familiar with Wiki editing, there are 
people who can help you get started with that.

I brought in the Embroidery machine, and I know a little about how it 
works, but i'm no expert.  We appreciate anything you can do to help get 
all the machines working just right.

Note;  one of them is a button sewing machine.  I think it was mistaken 
for a serger (which we do not have, but we want) so I am hoping it can be 
returned and we can get a serger instead.

Also we have a very nice "juki" sewing machine that is apparently missing 
its oil pan.  I think oil pans can be made out of sheetmetal, or bought on 
ebay, but anyway that machine would be a good replcaement for the older 
machine on the wooden table, if we can get it to work better than that 
one.

thanks you for your help!

Hello, I recently was invited to sudoroom to check out the sewing machines 
and have tinkered with them a little bit. I've identified some problems, 
missing pieces, etc. and want to keep working on/with them, but I'd like 
to talk to anyone else who has used them or whoever brought them there. I 
look forward to meeting y'all and I'm excited to get involved with the 
space.
