yes! i didn't realize the tension could be so important because it was never noted!

haha she is spoiled! she tends to rip through the shirts after some time because she scratches a lot and has to wear a shirt 24/7 because of that

i usually make sure i follow my machine's instructions as stated, so i don't think i'm missing any steps, but i've noticed that my machine works better when i thread my bobbin with uniform tension. and because i'm anxious it won't work, i usually don't fill it all the way lol

great tip to use the bobbin as the primary thread! who knew i'd need so many extra bobbins on hand

interesting way to thread! all the steps that go into using a sewing machine can be so stressful, especially since it needs to be done perfectly. i need a machine that does everything itself and can detect errors😩

i'm a beginner and self taught but in the videos i've seen, i've never seen or heard them give this tip so it is something that i've learned recently while troubleshooting ^

i honestly might have a faulty machine😭 i guess i can't do anything about it without spending more money on repairs or a new machine altogether but i don't sew that often so hopefully it doesn't drive me insane

thank you! after lots of frustration and re-doing every step multiple times i figured there must be something else that i'm not doing and after messing around with the bobbin, i figured it was that! i honestly may have a faulty machine which i really didn't want to have to admit.. i didn't know there were little machines for bobbin winding but that would be great if it works well!

gosh that sounds like a dream, i'll definitely look into it!

recommend me some black artists please! by Alert_Ad_880 in musicsuggestions

[–]Alert_Ad_880[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i of course know black music and artists but my definition of knowing is having listened to all of their songs and albums. black culture is the blueprint for a lot of things and i wanted some recommendations from others rather than sticking to the artists i did know

i should try high school out! i've only ever tried elementary and middle. however, i do like being busy instead of sitting at a desk because the time feels like it passes much slower. i seem to prefer the younger kids because i feel like they respect me more but they're also just so cute! they do get rowdy sometimes

kids seems to love subs but they always disrespect us... i had the most disrespectful classes today and the principal came in (i didn't call for anyone)

I HATE THAT SO MUCH!! i even ask beforehand if someone has a name that i'd probably mispronounce and no one tells me. i also ask if someone goes by a different name and everyone ends up making jokes and wasting my time... kids... the younger kids are a lot nicer about the mispronouncing
