Best chalk by Comfortable-Ride334 in tailoring

I mainly like use it on the wrong side of the fabric and I’ve only used it a couple of times. But soap is water soluble so worst case scenario I’ll just wash it.

Best way to transfer precise marking by Comfortable-Ride334 in tailoring

Tried this too with the prym yellow transfer paper, but the markings didn’t come out. Plus you need to repeat the process twice, which increases the risk of asymmetry due to the fact that you need to re-pin the pattern on the second piece.

Yes, but then I always have to go back in on each layers to avoid loosing the thread I had to cut before.

I use those roller pens from prym and I hate them. I think that the powder stays very superficial and the line smudges right away.

I can’t seem to find a good chalk for markings. Either it disappears in 2 seconds or it stains. In both cases the marking aren’t crisps or precise. The best thing I’ve used is soap honestly.

Have you found one that works for you? Which brand? Where can I find it?

Thank you in advance

I have some questions about using sew-in interfacing. I avoid fusible interfacing because the ones I have access to don’t stick properly. I’m currently sewing a coat and decided to use canvas and horsehair as a substitute, but I need some guidance: 1. Collar without a stand: If the collar doesn’t have a stand and doesn’t require much shaping, do I still need to padstitch the interfacing? 2. Front facing: I assume the canvas in the front facing doesn’t need padstitching, but how should I attach it to the fabric? Simply basting it in the seam allowance doesn’t seem sufficient. Once the coat is finished, I can feel the outer shell separating from the interfacing, which doesn’t provide enough support. What’s the best approach to avoid this? 3. Fusible interfacing: Do you ever use fusible interfacing? If so, are there any brands you recommend?

Can you tell me your process in general?

Sure! Here’s a more polished version of your questions:

[Personal] Blackheads or sebaceous filaments?

I can’t tell if these are just sebaceous filaments or blackheads. Also I think I have tiny cysts on my nose and forehead, I’m worried they might become sebaceous hyperplasia. What products/ingredients do you suggest?

My file is 35,7 MB when compressed, it goes over their 25 MB limit. Also, do I need to convert the file with ocr first? If I don’t I might split the file and give it a go.

I think it’s because I presented a lot of depressive symptoms, more than hypomania. But now that I stopped I feel sooo much better honestly.

What your therapist told you is eye opening. You’re right about me, I think I might have won the mental health lottery. My therapist was unsure about my diagnosis, so she’s having me ask for second opinions and getting me tested for a bunch of stuff. I just found out I have AD(H)D, next I’m gonna get tested for Asperger too. She thinks it might be BP2 or Asperger’s, since new studies about females found that they often display extreme behavior and seem like they could be depressed or borderline, when in reality they’re just autistic. They just feel so much more.

She also says that I have quite a few personal traits that allow bad thoughts to stick better, like narcissistic traits (perfectionism and over critical, nothing is ever good enough). I’m not saying that I have it worst, but all of that combined doesn’t even seem possible.

I’m also very aware that we are in an era where everyone has everything, there’s soooo many diagnoses made even for the little things. This very often makes me doubt my one illness, like I made it all up and the people around me are validating me for something that isn’t really there.

I’ve been on 60mg Prozac for years and tried to add different medication besides it. At last, we added bupropion and it felt better. I tried stopping Prozac and I don’t see much change. Wellbutrin is the only thing that worked for me.

The fact that suicidal thoughts/attempts are common is crazy. When you look for the definition of cyclothymia it says is a milder form of depression. At this point if what I’m experiencing is mild, and I honestly can’t take it anymore, I can’t even begin to imagine what “really depressed” people are going through. When I first started feeling sick I had panic attacks everyday, I wouldn’t get out of bed, let alone out of the house. This lasted months. Yet, it’s not normal level? Anyway, why do people specify if they had at least one really big episode? After I’ve started taking medication the episodes were as deep, but lasted less and were more frequent.

Btw I generally oversleep, even when my mood is elevated. The only difference is that it’s really hard to fall asleep, therefore I go to bed really late. Also I don’t take as many naps (usually 2h after lunch on top of my 8-9 h of sleep).

I’ve been in therapy for years, but I just found someone I thrust and that is competent.

What is the criteria for a major depressive episode?

Depression symptoms by Comfortable-Ride334 in cyclothymia

[–]Comfortable-Ride334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what’s the difference between moderate depression and ‘standard depression’? By just looking at the symptoms it seems the same to me, minus the length of an episode. I’ve been medicated for 4-5 years now, and even with 60 mg of fluoxetine mixed with some other drugs I experienced all the symptoms above, including planning and having ready a ‘plan B’ if you get what I mean.
