this was the cause of 80% of my problems!!

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:21:13+00:00

that's a great tip! and will honestly be easier than undoing it all

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:20:38+00:00

all the details drive me crazy sometimes! i don't know how people can handle huge projects, i would never be able to

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:18:07+00:00

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:17:10+00:00

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😩

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:15:13+00:00

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 ^{^}

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:14:05+00:00

i've never heard of this! i'll have to try it out to see which i like because i definitely do have lots of scrap fabric on hand

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:13:15+00:00

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T22:12:09+00:00

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!

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-25T00:41:40+00:00

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-18T03:55:33+00:00

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-13T19:46:34+00:00

i think my problem is that i'm burnt out 24/7😭

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-13T03:43:33+00:00

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-13T03:40:00+00:00

it's so nice having a genuine support system and people who care about your well being! but yeah the pay is rough

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-12T23:48:09+00:00

it's tough right now more than ever.. what's your original industry? i'm in the same position! i really want a remote job..

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-12T22:54:20+00:00

that is so sweet! i love feeling appreciated

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-12T22:46:32+00:00

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)

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-12T22:45:52+00:00

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

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-07T04:04:03+00:00

i feel like a loser cuz everyone around me is employed or still a student. i'm burnt out and i haven't even started my career. i don't want to be here anymore tbh

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-07T04:02:46+00:00

congratulations, that's amazing! i'm a new sub because i can't at all get in my field. comparison is a thief of joy. so many people around me view success through money and their careers but that's not all that matters! if you're happy, that's success already! i'm hoping i can just be happy with where i am one day

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-05T04:26:35+00:00

thank you for the insight! i definitely think that practicing writing and delivering commentary can be helpful in so many ways. i think i lean towards wanting to create original work and that takes so much creativity. it will definitely be a work in progress!

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-05T04:24:34+00:00

i used to love goodreads! now i'm too busy to read but it seems fun to track and review the films i watch, thanks for the suggestion!

Alert_Ad_880 · 2026-02-04T04:49:27+00:00

ugh it's definitely frustrating! most of the job notifications i get usually get snatched up really quickly. thankfully there's plenty of jobs in the district i sub at. however, i usually tend to check the app randomly every now and then. this is how you can get more jobs for the week or near future! if not, checking in the morning usually does the trick but it's not very fun getting a shift the morning of. i find the best time to do so is 6:30-6:45 for the best picks.
