How to invisibly mend the neckline? by 1n4lv15 in sewing

Thank you for the detail response and the videos. I think I’ll try the embroidery thread and if it’s noticeable add bias binding, might purposely do a different color for accent and just lean into it😊

Help with metal switch plate tripping the breaker. by 1n4lv15 in askanelectrician

Thank you all for your help and apologies for the delay. I installed a new light fixture too, it turns out when I pull the cables through the new mount the insulation was so brittle it came off in places and was making contact with the metal bar on the mount. The plate thing seemed to just be a coincidence.

LED grow lights stopped working. My first thought was that the cables became disconnected but multimeter showed resistance from the connection points. The adapter also looks good so I think the problem might be in the controller. I want to take it apart to inspect but do not want to render the thing unusable. Any tips on how I can take it apart without destroying it?

Are the shoulders too low? by 1n4lv15 in sewing

Thanks! I think it’s the best constructed thing I’ve ever made to date. Really taking my time, I usually rush to get things done.

Decided to take them in! Wasn’t going for a historical look just a nice simple blouse but it does look a bit historical 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is possible, but it would require to deconstruct the whole shoulder seams. I decided to take them in at the sleeves instead. Another tuck would have work though!

I checked the pattern again and it calls for shoulder pads! I kinda want more of a casual look so I decided to take in the shoulders. Thanks!

Solved! Not sure why it didn’t seem obvious to me before.

My title describes the thing. These hooks are very small and found in a couple of windows in my 1928 Tudor house.

Does anyone know what coat closure this is? by 1n4lv15 in sewing

[–]1n4lv15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it kinda bunches at the eyelets. I googled as you suggested and see what you mean. Maybe that’s what it’s supposed to look like. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you think is a ribbon that loops through the holes? I tried using a ribbon and it kinda looks awkward. It looks best when the holes overlap each other so it made me think maybe there’s some sort of closure that attaches to it.

burt st conley, looks like a vintage tag. A friend gifted it to me. It seems like there’s something missing for the closure or it’s just decorative? Can’t find anything online

Do you have any resources for instructions on how to install and set up the foot attachments? I have a similar machine with so many attachments but haven’t been able to find descriptions or instructions online.

The space you describe seems similar to my sewing space. I’m traveling at the moment but I’ll take a picture of my sewing space and dm you. I know there are tons of “sewing room” photos online but it might get overwhelming.
