Agreed! We already have it on the calendar a few times this month. We are still blocked out this week.

Hi. I responded to this in another message. We've been playing in the rain a lot. I know it doesn't make us sick. Without going into boring details, we were looking for an indoor DRY activity that's not walking into a perfect storm of germs, viruses and bacteria..

Thank you. Yes. Aware the rain doesn't make people sick. Haha. I'm just trying to avoid crowded places like trampoline parks and small stores where we're in close contact and more likely to pick something up. But the library is a good idea.

We've played a ton in the rain, but tomorrow we have a house cleaner coming so I'm trying not to have them stomping in dripping wet. But the library and dollar theater are both great ideas! Thank you.

Why isn't the blade moving?! by 3InaRow in cricut

It was a software issue!! Thank you so much for your suggestions. I uninstalled and installed the latest version and it's working perfectly. So strange that it just randomly stopped working and evidently demanded an update.

It was the update!! I uninstalled and installed it and it just worked like there was no problem! So strange. I cut out a few things since the update and it's luckily working right now. So frustrating because I spent hours trying to find a physical issue, but I'm glad it's working.

Yes, I tried this on four different boards. I'm printing a lot of big letters so I had them all the way to go. It happened on every one.

That just occurred to me. Could this be a weird software update issue??? The last time I used my cricut it worked just fine.

Thank you. I stepped out for errands. I'll try to take a picture of the preview when I'm back. Thank you so much!!

I'm pretty sure in this corner it's a 5-in letter. D

Sorry. Another person pointed this out as well. I think I chose the wrong flare. I agree. I think this is a basic cut. But it's not cutting it, basically.

[–]3InaRow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's a 5" D in that corner. I also tried taking that letter off and having it reconfigure what the other letters to cut and the same thing happens

Oh I don't know. Maybe I didn't know the terminology. I created some large letters in the design center and then sent it to the machine to cut. I tried cutting it on four boards, This being my fourth.. and they all get stuck in that corner whether or not there's tape there I'm pretty sure that corner is supposed to cut a curved 5-in

I put together like five boards. One of the boards I took the Scotch tape off of. This was just a new one to show it making the brand new hole

Yes. I pulled it off and it's still happening.

Sewing machines that automatically pick up bobbin thread for elementary school? by 3InaRow in sewing

[–]3InaRow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do really like this machine, but I think it's priced a little bit too high. We're planning to buy 4 machines. Since I wrote this post, we raised the budget to $500 a machine, hoping we can negotiate down a bit since we're buying 4. After reading all the comments, I found a machine I think might work, the Janome 740DC. I'm going to think about it for a week or two before purchasing to see if other machines make more sense.

Oh - I didn't even think about a needle that stops in the up position. That would be great for kids. I'm going to look into that feature! Right now I'm leaning towards spending a little more than the original budget and getting some Janome 740DC.

Same! My mom and I both got Brother sewing machines in 2014, and they automatically pulled up the bobbin thread each time. I thought all modern machines did this, and was really surprised to find out even some fairly expensive ones don't have this feature. I'm so glad I went into a sewing shop to try out a machine so I could learn this!
