is replacing a cutting table and overlocker the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. replacing a cutting table and overlocker is the biggest at $840. Let me know if you want more detail.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Berlin
Thank you. If you're in Berlin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
hang in there, Christian. Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending good thoughts, Christian. Shared this with my family. All the best!
