There’s a whole bunch of fractal awesome here:

> Well, that logo's so classy, it needs to go on a patch! I could have had it done for maybe $80 at some web vendor. But why do that when we can spend $200 on craigslist for an old embroidery machine, and learn to do it ourselves?

Fun story: jonh's package for doing embroidery for inkscape was forked years later to become the excellent and much more comprehensive InkStitch extension (https://inkstitch.org/)!

Came to say how fab it is that they bought an embroidery machine! As a quilter who uses two stitches on her not inexpensive sewing machine, I think that's so cool!
