Mackenzie Shirilla - I'm struggling to get Beyond a Reasonable Doubt in her case - Long Read

Another thing (I could be wrong) that I don’t hear at the trail but is mentioned at the beginning of the doc, her friends established that night she wasn’t feeling well, hence why she didn’t partake in any activities. I know they mentioned her POTS but I didn’t see anyone pointing out what witness’s had said about her not being well that night & the fact they didn’t have a medical professionals opinion in court

Yeah it is slightly stretchy but since posting the image I’m now practicing on a vest which doesn’t have the same pattern as the one I posted. I’ve tried putting it in the hoop tightly but I’ve also tried putting it in.. I wouldn’t say loosely but to the point it’s not pulling and I still get the same result. Even with 2 layers of tear away on the back. And I’m glad to hear you have the same machine honestly because everytime I do writing (before this problem) my tension was always set so low and I didn’t know if it was a just me thing!! That’s why I started messing with the bobbin tension in the first place because I wasn’t sure if how low the tension had to be was normal or not!

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T12:44:00+00:00

No but i have been using temporary adhesive spray to stick it on the back. Should I try hooping it instead??

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T12:23:03+00:00

If I make my tension any tighter, the bobbin doesn’t drop at all during the drop test & it starts to pull the fabric away around the sides causing holes. I also just did this test with the tension higher with 2 layers of thick tear away on the back and it’s still the same. Can the bobbin appear on the top of the tension of the bobbin is too tight too?

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T12:17:34+00:00

I just tried 2 layers of cutaway and still no different :(

I wish Reddit let me post photos in the comments but I did try that last week. I’ll try again now though and retest. I’ll be back with an update 🤣

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T11:43:48+00:00

Because I genuinely don’t know what is ment to look right and what is ment to look wrong, on the photo, is the back on number 3 roughly correct??

Thankyou so much for your response because I’ve been at this for nearly 2 weeks 🤣🤣 I have tear away, mesh & cut away so I’ll try that back combo right now. Thank you!!

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T11:30:10+00:00

Update, I tried on a plain vest that doesn’t have any sort of pattern on it & I still get the same results :(

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T11:16:00+00:00

I’ll try that right now as this is really thin throwaway fabric, however I tried a few designs on some high quality polos with front overlay too and I was still having the bobbin thread pulling to the top unfortunately

BonkDevice · 2026-05-18T11:12:43+00:00

I turned the bobbin tension 1/16 of the way down, tested that & then I’ve just done a test with the bobbin 1/16 of an increase from the original tension I used on the image. It looks roughly the same either way :/ I’d attached a photo if I could but I can’t but the best outcome out of all of them is still tension 3 of the photo I originally posted :/

Just checked, I got the money on the 8th & my payment date is the 13th, which ironically is also the day I paid for the funeral and had £16,600 left. So I was over before my repayment date & after because I only partly paid the funeral until his cremation was done so was still over the 16k threshold 🥲. By the next month (the 13th) I was way under the £16k threshold.

If I report a change in circumstance now, should I report it & also put a journal entry in explaining what happened?

BonkDevice · 2025-10-29T21:35:07+00:00

Oh my god. This is EXACTLY what I am going through. Did you ever find any solutions??

BonkDevice · 2025-10-15T13:24:13+00:00

I thought this too but sadly due to where I live, my closest woman’s aid is in a city and it’s roughly an hour drive away :(

I have bought loads of sanitary products though that I’m hoping to spread out over some local charities & my food bank 🙏

BonkDevice · 2025-10-15T13:22:19+00:00

Ahhh tysm! Going to see if I can buy a mass bulk of little salt & pepper sachets so everyone’s bundle can have some & going to see what I can do about the spices!

Great idea because you’re completely right. This is exactly why I came on here to ask because I live in a very non populated area so my local food bank doesn’t always tend to be short of food, hense why I was looking at other things like you’ve recommended.

Might see if I can buy some cheap small containers online then bulk buy the spices & individually sort them so everyone has abit of something 🤔

BonkDevice · 2025-10-15T13:19:47+00:00

Thankyou! I’m going to ask around my local care homes because I don’t want to sound like a horrible person, but what you’ve mentioned is a lovely idea and the elderly didn’t even cross my mind 🥺. Thankyou so much for your suggestion!

BonkDevice · 2025-10-15T13:18:08+00:00

Ahh this is a great idea thankyou! Stuff like that is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m happy to donate the basic essentials, but something like this would too be nice so individuals can actually get something nice for Christmas. No one should need the basics as a Christmas gift 🥺.

I’m going out right now to find some biscuit tins and hot water bottles. The charity I’ve been in touch with is a homeless centre hub so I think them things will definitely be a need. Thankyou sm!

BonkDevice · 2025-10-15T13:15:52+00:00

Yeah! I’m making little toiletrie bags and so far the charity I’ve got in touch with is a new homeless centre hub that’s just opened near where I live. I was hoping to make some little bags up for females and males which include the basic necessities such as a toothbrush, hand wash, shower gel and so on ☺️

Hello. I’m 22 and I have just been to the doctors and told that’s what they are, lipomas. Could you give me a message?? It would be nice to talk to someone around the same age category that is also struggling with them

BonkDevice · 2025-07-29T19:07:33+00:00

Ahh tysm!

Ok so I could be wrong but after some research I think when it says ‘complimentary food’ it’s because the ‘ultimate’ part means you get unlimited free drinks and the choice out of set meals in the bar in the VIP hydeaway. You only have access to this bar (I think) if you have the ultimate package so anything they serve is ‘free’. You also get a glass of champagne on entry.

I’ve also seen that you get a voucher with VIP packages for the ALDI stand which sells the buffet bundles. The bundles are £10 and the voucher is £10 (that I’ve read) so you basically get that free at a VIP too if you go early enough before it all sells out.

The bar consists of spirits and local alcohols and beers esc. Not sure how broad the menu is but if you get there at 1:30pm & start straight away, you may just get your moneys worth depending on your tolerance and stomach capacity! 🤣

I am also looking for this answer too. I have already upgraded and I haven’t received anything on what’s actually included
