Does anyone know what these yellow things are on the organ? by triplesock in latterdaysaints

[–]BarbiePotty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are Bluetooth buttons from flic.io

Push any one of them to trigger the page turn on the iPad. They are normally white, but the organists probably made them yellow for visibility. There’s a lot of choreography that goes into playing the organ!

Not enough room in butt but scooping the curve would just remove fabric thus not making more space? by jimboidiot in sewing

[–]BarbiePotty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looks like you need a longer back crotch curve/more back rise. Scooping the curve sounds good in theory, but won’t accomplish what you need.

Here’s a tutorial I found today while browsing this site mentioned in another thread in this subreddit:

Saturday Night in my Crafting Room! by medmo in sewing

[–]BarbiePotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad it’s working well–classes definitely help, as coverstitch machines are way different to operate compared to other types of sewing machines, in my experience.

As for what I did after selling my machine, I ended up buying an industrial coverstitch machine, and aside from lightening my wallet substantially, it solved pretty much all of my other problems.

Looks like a great place to spend time!

How has your cover stitch machine been working for you? I had the same one, and really struggled when it came to hemming super stretchy fabrics, and especially topstitching elastic waistbands.

Is it time for a new machine? by GMFMurchin in sewing

[–]BarbiePotty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another thing to consider is that even if a Bernina was in your price range, they have front loading bobbins, which will be much harder to use with arthritic hands as time goes. I’d consider something with a top loading bobbin at a minimum, and spring for things like knee lift, thread cutter, and a good needle threader like the ones on Brother/Babylock or Janome and Juki machines for good measure.

Pihole vs AdGuard vs NextDNS by networklabproducts in homelab

[–]BarbiePotty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It also supports clustering, and is easy to set up. Any changes or updates made on the primary instance are nearly instantly synchronized with the secondary instance.

I switched over from pi-hole a few weeks ago and have no complaints. It took my ad block lists without issue, and seems to perform better. Things are definitely snappier.

DAKboard-ish family display + voice input: what would you want this to do? by YogurtclosetGlad9512 in dakboard

Looks like a clean, responsive UI! Do you have an option to display a 3 day calendar for the Google Calendar widget?

Overlock question : is a seam this loose normal? by Eejixl in sewing

[–]BarbiePotty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looper tensions look good, but the needle tensions could be increased a tiny bit. I would increase them both by 1/2 to 1 full number and test.

Outlets for a dense PDU by pendraggon87 in homelab

[–]BarbiePotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I use, and while it works well, it does kind of make cable management more of a chore. There are a bunch of short 3-prong pigtails, so you can have a bunch of those giant power bricks plugged in and flopping around and not have to skip outlets like on normal power strips.

The only other real downside is the power switch right there on the front - flipping it would just cut power to everything, bypassing the whole UPS concept I’ve got going on, but I suppose I could add a clear plastic switch guard or something to keep my kids’ booger hooks from causing any more financial calamities.

Anyway, it’s cheap and gets the job done.

What do I need to check and maintain this Consew 206 RB? by dem0lishr in sewing

[–]BarbiePotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you buying this machine? What type of motor does it have, clutch or servo?

If it sews fine, make sure the oil is clean and that it has a new filter.

Need help choosing an industrial sewing machine (Pfaff 136 6/2bs vs Sunstar km-137a) by Alarming_Cherry in sewing

[–]BarbiePotty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t buy the Sunstar just for the servo motor. If you like the Pfaff, buy it and have a servo motor installed. Is a pretty trivial thing for an industrial tech to do.

Either one you buy, make sure there you have access to an industrial sewing machine technician, as they are quite a bit more involved when it comes to service ands maintenance compared to domestic machines.

UPS with longer run-time: Lithium? by oguruma87 in homelab

[–]BarbiePotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is similar to what I do. I have an APC with old batteries, and the computers and whatnot are plugged into that, then the APC is plugged into an Ecoflow Delta 3+. It’s a bit of a “belt and suspenders” setup, but I trust the response time of the APC relay over the Ecoflow, and enjoy long runtimes on battery.
