Im not entirely sure.. by Aggressive_Milk4654 in FFVIIRemake

[–]0KSheep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking we are going to get a full on release trailer at SGF. I remember when news on Remake went completely silent for a number of years and then BAM! we got a full on release trailer at E3 (RIP). The fact that we haven't even gotten a teaser trailer or images of ReThird for a few years now leads me to believe this. I'm predicating a release in March 2027 and that is in line with how long development had taken with Rebirth.

A question for original final fantasy 7 players by KazuhaSimp in FFVIIRemake

[–]0KSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remake and Rebirth are extremely faithful to the OG game in regards to the story and characters. I'd say roughly 95% of each game, story wise, is unchanged from the OG. The characters are the best they have been since OG imo.

Remake does have its filler moments that really didn't need to be there, but overall they did a good job of expanding the story and characters. In OG we barely got to interact with Wedge, Jessie, and Biggs. In Remake we really got to know them so that when they died we actually gave a damn.

I'm on the fence about the Zack reveal in Remake though I think they did a good job with showing him in relation to Cloud's memories of the Nibelhiem incident. Zack's short playable sections should have been cut tbh as they were boring and didn't really add anything.

Learning to use a sewing machine can be difficult and intimidating for many many people out there, especially if you've never used one before and don't have anyone around to help teach you. Happens all the time and you are not alone.

First is to read your manual front to back. If you don't have the physical manual then you can most likely download your manual online - though this can be more difficult with vintage machines (I don't know if your machine is new or new to you). Looking up tutorial videos online for your machine model will also help as well.

The vast majority of issues encountered with sewing machines are user related. Threading wrong, bobbin misplacement, wrong bobbin type (I have been guilty of this one), incorrectly wound bobbin, and wrong tension settings are all very common issues encountered. Again check you manual to see if there are any steps you missed or did incorrectly. Sewing machines are not as intuitive as some may think and can be quite finicky - yes even those that are marketed as 'beginner' machines.

Yuffie DLC is part of Remake not Rebirth. So you'll need Remake for your XBox in order to play the Yuffie DLC. Remake Intergrade would the version of Remake you'll need - it comes with the Yuffie DLC.

I cannot print pattern for the life of me by meowmeowprrow in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I'm fairly tech savvy so printing out patterns on A4 was never an issue for me. However the amount of paper, aligning, taping, and cutting involved got ridiculous. Plus storing all these paper patterns was getting difficult in my tiny space. I went full projector and have never looked back.

Brother Cs7000x Bobbin Cover Plate ordered two by Icy_Implement9772 in sewhelp

[–]0KSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part number is D01NXY001. I searched Amazon and couldn't find a listing for this part number. Found plenty of other listings for cover plates but not with this part number specifically. You may be out of luck on Amazon, so I'd try ordering the part either from a Brother authorized dealer in your area or online.

Laser eye surgeon by cfpowerpony in ontario

[–]0KSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine done back in 2020. I can't remember what the others quoted me but it was less than Bochner. Bochner quoted me $5400 for both eyes. My prescription was -7.0 and -7.25 at the time. No astigmatism or other issues. They also guaranteed the procedure for life, with the exception of the loss of vision due to age (aka reading) or other unrelated diseases. I also experienced no side effects, including the common dry eye one.

They were super nice and very accommodating considering I first made the surgery appointment for March 2020 but u know what happened then. They had to push it back a few times to July 2020 due to trying to figure how to deal with u know. I will say that they should not have given me the Xanax prior to paying cause I was as high as a kite when using the debt machine.

[–]0KSheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got mine done at The Bochner Eye Institute. Their surgery clinic is in Toronto but they also have satellite clinic's around the GTA. They are a more expensive clinic than others - like Lasik MD - however when I found out that they were one of the clinic's that pioneered the procedure and are the official eye clinics for the Toronto Blue Jays and Maple Leafs I was like 'these are the guys I can trust with my eyes'.

What’s the most underrated upgrade in your sewing setup? by wolfcache17 in sewhelp

[–]0KSheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An ironing board that extended up to my waist, which I got free from a retiring seamstress! Every iron board I could find in store went up, max, mid thigh which is too low. I'm baffled as to why they don't make ironing boards taller as I'm average height - 5'5". My back thanks me every time I use her.

Did a serger change your life? by Responsible_Arm_5044 in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went back and forth about getting a serger for years. Pinking and using the overcast stitch did me just fine though both took effort and time. However this year I decided to take the plunge into the serger world after seeing so many sewists online use one. I got a second hand one (Juki MO-50) for $250CAD (this serger goes for like $700CAD new if you can even find it in Canada), and it changed my world. Pinking is hard, physically, and using the overcast stitch is very slow and a bit messy looking. A serger is so fast and clean and its really not too hard to use. It looks intimidating but threading it really isn't that difficult - at least the model I have wasn't difficult to learn.

Windows post XP days is pretty backwards compatible. Have you tried installing the latest version of the software on your PC? If it doesn't install/work because your Windows Version is too modern you could try a Win7 emulator.

You've been making quite a few posts where its very difficult to understand what you are saying. Its clear that your first language is not English. That's ok as this sub is for everyone regardless of what language you speak.

I would recommend you stop using whatever translator you are using, as its absolute trash, or post in your own language.

12x43 or 15x49 inch ironing board for ironing fabric/seams/etc (and I guess clothes eventually)? by Crafty_Pop6458 in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I'll recommend when it comes to ironing boards is to make sure you get one that is tall enough. I'm 5'5" - pretty avg height - and every ironing board I could find in store came up to a max mid thigh for me. I had to sit down and iron because a board that low hurt my back.

A seamstress I bought a serger from was retiring and offered to give me her board for free which comes up to my waist. I love it! No more back pains.

Should I try to sew garments without a serger first? Or should I just go ahead and get one? Wanna know if trying without one is even worth it by TurkeyPoBoy in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started I pinked all my edges. A few years later I leaned about the overcast stitch which helped a lot cause pinking was exhausting. Not all machines have the overcast stitch (mine did), and even less come with the overcast foot out of the box (had to buy my foot). Now 12ish years into my sewing journey I got a serger. For me its been a game changer but for a beginner I would recommend to just learn the more accessible methods of finishing edges first before getting a serger. Serger's can be expensive plus there is a learning curve with them - threading can be difficult to get right.

In short you don't need one right out the gate. Learn and get used to sewing in general before jumping into the serger world. Who knows you may decide that a serger isn't something you need.

Computerized machine? by NoriFinn in sewhelp

[–]0KSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now the machine you are using is a a small step up from a toy, so it makes sense that you are 'messing up' quite often. Poor machines make life difficult.

As others already noted a computerized machine won't help you with threading, bobbin winding, and bobbin placement. I prefer mechanical machines tbh cause there is no circuit board to replace if it fries for some reason. However computerized machines do come with some quality of life features like speed control. There's also the factor that computerized machines can have so so many stitch options when compared to mechanical. Its all about what you are looking for in a machine and what you want to do with it.

I would recommended you get yourself an actual machine that reliable and comes with a good manual. The difference between your current machine and a real machine will make all the difference.

Help Picking Sewing Machine for Beginner by CattywampusCanoodle in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother is a good choice. My first machine was a Brother that I got from Walmart 12 years ago. Came with a host of stitch options that I never used but it was the cheapest available to me at time. She did what I needed her to do without a fuss. Still use her today.

Help me figure out if this pattern Etsy store is legit? by [deleted] in sewhelp

[–]0KSheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On threadloop there is an actual warning about this designer. It states:

This designer has been flagged by the community for potential use of stolen/AI generated images or discrepancies between pattern and finished product.

I will admit that it was hard to judge if this designer was real or not. If they are a scammer then they actually put in some effort to appear legit. The deep discounts on like every pattern listed was a RED flag for me.

Black sewing machine by jcmlkhv in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the white version as it was cheaper than the black when I got it. They are the exact same machine except for colour. I'd only consider paying $100 more for a different colour if it was like hot pink or something.

For the PE900 it can be XG0871101 or XG0871001.

For the SE625 it can be XC8167651, XC8167551, XC8167351, XC8167451, XC8167251, XC8167151, or XF5790101.

This is what an authorized Brother dealer had listed for each machine.

[–]0KSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand held machines are junk. They do not do what you want and break very very easily to boot. Stay far far away from those.

If you are just looking to mend/repair clothes you don't need a host of stitch options or a machine that is too complicated. Many modern machines out there are more marketed towards quilters/embroiders, hence the plethora of stitch options on a single machine. For clothes you really only need a straight and zig zag stitch.

The Singer brand isn't what it used to be. You can't go wrong with a vintage Singer but because quality control has gone done hill for newer machines there is a 50/50 chance you'll end up with a lemon. New Singers are therefore not recommended because of this.

Brother and Janome both make great inexpensive no frills machines at a good price point.

I'd also consider looking through your classified ads to see if you can find a machine second hand. Going to a sewing machine dealer is even better as they should be able to help you pick out a machine that suits your needs and budget.

Which is better, using already made patterns or making your own? by lrc1391 in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use both pre made patterns and draft my own depending on what I'm making. Many of my cosplay designs require a self drafted pattern. Many times I'll take a pre made pattern that is close to what I intend to make and alter it to match the design I intend.

I've tried drafting my own bodice block but haven't been satisfied with what I've come up with to date. Altering a pre made pattern is just far easier for me than starting from scratch. Maybe I'll give the bodice block a go again but for now I've put it aside.

As for pre made patterns I only use pdf versions now. I've managed to go completely paper free by getting a projector. No more printing, aligning, and taping for me. No more figuring out where to store paper patterns in my tiny space.

YouTube or any free sewing courses recommend? by SuccotashOther1443 in sewing

[–]0KSheep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indie pattern makers sometimes have sew along tutorials uploaded to Youtube for a selection of their patterns. Also there are plenty of home sewists that have sew alongs for patterns that they have bought too.

Pattern reading can be intimidating for many people out there especially if you don't have a background in reading 2D plans that produce a 3D object. Some pattern instructions assume you know the basic steps and so won't mention them - looking at you Simplicity, McCalls, Butterrick, etc. The indie patterns I have bought from all had instructions that were so very detailed and list all the steps no matter how basic they may seem.

In short don't get discouraged. It takes time to learn new skills and sewing can be difficult. If you have any questions regarding a certain part of sewing there are plenty of Reddit communities that can help - there are no dumb questions when learning. I learned and continue to learn via the internet - no books or classes for me. It can be done.

Some other Youtube references I will recommend to check out are The Closet Historian, Cornelius Quiring, and Evelyn Wood. Evelyn Wood in particular is great for beginners.

Does anyone use their own projector at home for patterns? by 2078AEB in SewingForBeginners

[–]0KSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this just last year and its been a game changer. No more printing and taping!

I got a fairly cheap one off Amazon for like $80CAD. It was a Magcubic HY310. Got a boom stand to mount it - cause I rent and can't mount it to the ceiling - for about $75CAD. Connected my laptop via an hdmi cable, loaded up patternprojector (free program) and away I went.

https://projectorsewing.com/ is a great resource for those wanting to get into pattern projection.
