Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and. Shout out to aynex21 offering to design it!
We are sitting at 18 x 20 inches
Seeking advice for how I divided up my “quadrants”.
Any tips or critiques welcome!
Quilt assistant for windows is great, would recommend. I used touch draw 2 for iPad to take it on the go.
Much thanks
Okay guys,
If I had a quilt block challenge, and I wanted to design a 20x20 block. And I want a FPP daffodil at the center, how can I do that? Where do I start?
I freaking love FPP, it feels like painting and a puzzle all in one. My block size can range from 16x16-24x24.
Thank you so much, you guys rock.
Any recommendations for a little sample block
Pattern that I could learn FPP on? Thank you, much love.
The junction box on my Lelia busted. The rest of it seems fine. Hand cranks, sews, needle position is real gummed up with old oil. I cleaned the motor and the windings LOOK okay.
How would you supply this machine with power?
New junction box?
New motor with necessary wires?
Retrofit to 3 prong plug?
Please help.
I gave her a full service, lowered the motor, bought a new pulley, sanded the pulley, alcoholled the pulley. Bought bissell vacuum belts for the hand wheel (didn’t fit).
Is this a pulley-hand wheel contact issue?
Any tips to help create more traction? Anyone else had this issue? I test drove her and she worked beautifully. Brought her inside and this.
Rabbit?
Do my cats got rabies? They are a bunch of mousers.
Dug up? I can’t imagine they picked it clean. Other bones were scattered about. Didn’t have time for pics. We’re too big for bat I felt.
Much thanks!
I am asking help finding a manual as close to her cabinet model as possible. I cannot find a manual for a 117.3242. But she looks like a 117.959. I also saw a comment saying a white 77 manual would cover my basic needs for maintenance and threading.
Thank you for reading my post! I am excited to see
What I will make with my new machine.
Cat: 3 yr DLH, spayed, contacted vet, USA
Owner: 29 yr, can afford vet care
TL;DR: Due to a previous injury she has had a limp. Limp has worsened so we got x-rays. Vet said surgery (amputation) was an option if pain worsens. Should she get surgery at all?
After watching her limp in this video, does she look like her leg is causing her pain?
I am questioning my decision and I appreciate anyone’s reassurance or discouragement for this procedure. Professional or owner, or anyone with experience with a similar injury. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Due to the location and age of the fracture amputation is the only option. It is high up above her joints.

29 year old paying for the surgery. Trying to get my mom on board for the amputation. See link for x-rays. Vet says the fracture and bullet will hurt more as she gets older, to the point she will stop using her leg and let it hang there. Could one argue that it will go necrotic when she stops using the injured leg?
Cat is 3 year old domestic long hair, female. She was shot right before she was rescued. Wound is 3 years old, leg still function and has feeling. Just want to get this bullet out of her and give her a pain free life.
Did not touch. Little turd crawled on me. How deadly are these spines? Got it off with a leaf.

And is it interesting enough for a biology department?
Or is it? Beautiful blue wings and tail, gray head. Eastern KY.
Apologies for the photo dump.
I have experience with mending.
Familiar with Cotten and weaves.
She has these lovely wool blend skirts that need to come in roughly 3 inches. 1 1/2 on each side. Her waist is a 35 and the front half is 18 3/4 so I estimate a 38 inch waist on the skirt. We have done the pinning and marking at the office. Apologies for the estimates. Her waist is 35”.
I am hoping to just stitch up the sides and tack the extra to the waist band. I am scared of cutting it with my inexperience. The wool fold over at the top is nice and thick and I worry will add too much bulk to the waist.
Construction seems to be 2 panels, wool fold over 2 inches and top stitched. The lining is quite close to coming apart at the seams. Not sure what is happening at that invisible zipper. There are darts I am confident I do not need to touch. Nor take out the zipper.
If I absolutely must cut, do I seam rip the lining down to its hem, Seam rip the wool waist 2 inches and taper in, then sew the lining 1/2 inch from the original seam to hold off the fraying? Would you recommend a hand back stitch on the wool waist? Then using proper machine needle and thread for the slippery lining?
She enjoys the length, just needs to bring in the waist.
BUYING ADVICE
Would love to do a diy. I enjoy a white/pink board and caps (love to watch the grease build up /s). Switch color I don’t mind. If I could choose white, clear.
Price point ideally around 150.
I would like diy my razor black widow. I am actually 100% sure it’s a v3. The switches probably aren’t even swappable. RIP. I love that pink.
I really like the feel and sound of the Steelseries Apex 3.
Can you swap a black widow v3 switches? If you have experience with that, what did you do?
I have a Logitech pop keys but I desperately want a number pad for work. I like the sound of the logi, but my fingers slip off the key caps.
Should I just get a membrane like the Apex 3? Its price point is pretty peak for the joy I get out of it.
Preferably one that is not black. If anyone has recommendations for a full size diy keyboard with a creamy sound please share. Maybe even a TKL but an auxiliary? Num pad. ❤️
Thank you so much for your time. I hope you have a good day.
I'm working on piecing together a quilt. When I get to the quilting step, I am thinking of sashiko-ing it. Is it possible? Possible but daunting?
I don't see it as any different than hand quilting. Just a different method. No framing needing. I would have to baste the whole freaking thing though.
Would a third hand be helpful? Any tips? Should I be discouraged?
Thank you for reading this thread.
Edit. I am thinking of using the Kasumi Tsunagi pattern. An image of my quilt top can be found in the comments. The main color is peach. Trying to decide if I should compliment with a light blue sashiko thread. Or stay with a cherry blossom pink.
Puh lease someone with magic fingers tell me why using the bottom stitch stopped my machine from engaging the needle. It hand cranks backward just fine!
He got eye surgery and had a cone on him. He woke me up and I noticed he didn't have his cone. We found it stuck, collar and all, to this horrible wool mat i didnt even know we had. We think a small piece of hair got ripped off. The spot was smaller. I noticed just now that it grew.
He has a check up tomorrow. But I want to know what this is??? Ringworm? Over grooming? Cancer??? I don't think he can reach it with his tongue. We did apply antibiotic ointment to it.
He is taking pain meds and got an antibiotic shot for his recovery.
His name is Campbell.
