[Noisebridge-discuss] Save the sewing

[Rachel McConnell]

OK I heard back from Henry finally.  He says the straight stitch machine
and the serger are available and reiterated the $200 each price.  I made
a wiki page:

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Industrial_Sewing_Machine_Donations

I put the names and amounts that people mentioned in this thread, please
adjust if your desire or ability has changed!

I've asked Henry what the next step should be and will email again when
I hear back.
