Thanks @petra 🙂

We’re £50 shy of the machine cost - anything over can be spend on spare frames, needles and threads to allow us to hit the ground running.

Not bad for a first attempt huh?

The Tools page will be updated soon with all the details (inc. manuals and links to software to make your own designs)

**We’re £100 shy of the fundraise target** - if you had pledged but not donated, please throw some points in the kitty (if you can) - this will cover the cost of the machine and extra equipment to get us started

Thanks to everyone who donated - we’ve hit our target 🎊

The embroidery machine is now in the space and the tools page has been created - [Brother Innov-is M230E Embroidery Machine](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/t/brother-innov-is-m230e-embroidery-machine/25339)

@TracyD and Myself will be at the Textiles Workshop on the 18th if anyone wants a guided tour - but it’s pretty easy to use 🙂

I tried to edit the [Wishlist-hopes & dreams](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/t/wishlist-hopes-dreams/93) page to remove the Embroidery Machine, and [List of Tools in the Space!](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/t/list-of-tools-in-the-space/28) to add it - but i don’t have access ☹

The one we have is really small. I think a larger one would be more useful. @platinumnqueen22 thoughts?

It’s basically a board with holes attached to a vacuum pump and a frame on hinges and ir heating on top of it? Feels like a we can build it thing.
