Hey all, fwiw, I'm cc'ing AJ and Pam, donors of a few of the sewing machines - they might have some insight into parts and labr, repair and maintenance, et al etc.

Much love,

Danny

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.

- Helen
