Laundromat

I need to use a commercial-sized washer and dryer for a large quilt. What’s the best (safest?) laundromat in town? I haven’t lived here long enough to know….

Epson 2850 Ecotank - printing double-sided on cardstock

My printer doesn't cooperate when I'm trying to print on both sides while using card stock. Is there a trick to it?

When I first got it, I had to contact customer service because I kept getting messages about the setting and the type of paper loaded were out of sync, so I'm afraid to just start changing the paper-type setting on the printer itself without a bit of guidance from you.

Boo-boo 😢 Salt and pepper have been with me for nearly 30 years

I just dropped the salt shaker, cracking the top, and I can’t find them anywhere.

They weren’t expensive, but they go so well with my décor.

Trim each row before joining?

This is only my second quilt, and I don’t remember how I did this on my first one (just a couple months ago!): Do I trim the edges of the entire row before I join the rows? Of course I’m just learning, so the blocks aren’t perfectly even although the star points match up on adjacent blocks….

If I don’t, the seam allowance when I get to a couple blocks as I join rows one and two will be a bit smaller than on the other block joins. I’ll be sure to line up the points as I go, but my brain isn’t quite capable of thinking through this alone and I want to make as few mistakes as possible. 😅

Camera stuck in photo-taking mode

SOLVED! I just took another picture and access returned! (I’m leaving this post here in case someone else has the same issue.)

iPhone 16e, iOS 26.4.2.

When I open my camera, I have no option to access my photo library; it’s just acting like a camera, ready to take a photo.

I took a photo right before I tried accessing it, and it seemed to be stuck on syncing it with iCloud. I paused syncing, but still no little icon within the camera app to access my photos. I resumed syncing, and it’s still stuck in sync mode.

I’ve completely shut down my iPhone. My storage has 30 GB still available.

Anything else you need to know to provide helpful suggestions?

Remove the pins first

No, I promise he didn’t get stuck with a pin. (I use clips.) 😹

Photo #1 is the during and #2, the after (the yawn). 🥱

Who would I petition to get speed-limit signs posted?

Most people think the speed limit on S. Airport Road west of 31 and W. Silver Lake Road north of 31 is 45 mph. It isn’t. It’s 55 (except for a section on Silver Lake Road where it is 45 and clearly marked).

There is a 55 mph sign going north on Silver Lake after that 45 mph zone, but then nothing on Airport between Silver Lake and 31.

Muslin or Muslin?

I see many suggestions for sewing a first version of a garment out of muslin to use as a prototype/test piece. Why am I seeing two different versions of muslin--or is it just washing that brings out the crinkle factor? If they're different, which is the muslin traditionally used for prototypes?

Learning to use a pattern, but running into a glitch

The triangles at the top of the photo are actually more unaligned than they look here—must be the awkward angle of the camera.

How do I match both sets of diamonds when they don’t both match up no matter how much I refold along the borders?

I’m a SUPER newbie when it comes to sewing. I just this morning learned how to print and (try to) align PDF patterns (and I’ve never actually touched a paper pattern in my life much less looked at one). I say this to implore you to talk me through this like I’m a nine year old. 🙏

Do the scallop pinking shears work as well as the regular sharp-points version?

Does this design work as well as the old-fashioned pinking shears when it comes to helping to keep raw edges from unraveling?

POV: your husband said your sewing machine was too expensive

I’m thinking a lot of beginners may not have seen this before. I hadn’t until just now, and thought maybe it would bring smile to your face like it did to mine. 🤣

Happy weekending!

The only quilt I’ve ever made 🥹

I moved the quilt from the bedroom to the living room a bit ago. He found it.
