Cell sheets

One page per tool cell: what is in the kit, how it travels, and who its captain is. These are made for paper — print one, tuck it in the kit, pin one to a board. The checkboxes are real: check the kit against its sheet every time it goes out and comes back.

Looking for the general flyer instead? That is readme.txt — same spirit, whole project.

GREAT FALLS TOOL BUS — CELL SHEET

SEWING CELL

A shared tool library on wheels for Lewiston-Auburn, Maine.
This is a bus — the shop comes later :)

IN THE KIT — check each box when the kit is packed

  • SINGER Heavy Duty 6600C Sterling (computerized) — The working machine — 100 built-in stitches, six one-step buttonholes. Manual linked below.
  • Treadle Singer sewing machine (1800s) — Restoration in progress — honestly framed: not yet a working machine.
  • SINGER ProSeries scissors bundle (8.5″ bent + 4.5″ detail + snips) — The kit shears. Bent shears stay dedicated to fabric.
  • FIVEIZERO seam-ripper set (2 large + 2 small + snips) — In kit — the most-used tools in any alteration.
  • BulingBuling bonded-nylon upholstery thread kit (8 × 210D/3) — In kit. Heavy repairs only — too stiff for fine seams.
  • Newkita 2″ T-pins (100, E0106) — In kit. For blocking and heavy layers — too thick for shirting.
  • Singer sewing machine oil — In kit. Oil only, never grease.
  • Small cutting surface — In kit.
  • Small handheld rotary cutter — In kit.

HOW IT TRAVELS

Machine in its case, notions boxed, every bit marked as part of the set. If the kit cannot be repacked and rolling in ten minutes, something is missing — tell a keyholder.

CELL CAPTAIN — one person who knows the kit

Captain:

This cell still needs one — it could be you. Ask a keyholder.
