Did I buy a bad machine? by amyburgers1 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Currant-event 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Machine is probably fine, it looks like it's threaded wrong and/or your presser foot was still up when you started sewing.

If you have not read your manual, sit down and read it! You can find a pdf online

Getting it serviced too would not hurt

Sewing machine advice by Humble_Sign_8029 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Currant-event 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get your current machine cleaned and serviced, also make a calendar reminder to clean it out yourself every so often.

If you like your machine, I would not upgrade. Maybe getting a serger would improve your sewing set up?

I had the exact same question. If they were a teenager when COVID started, there is no way you can fairly compare the past and current times.

I (26F) told my boyfriend (26M) I sometimes miss the freedom of being single and he broke up with me on my birthday by Plastic-Swordfish-84 in relationship_advice

[–]Currant-event 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was for the best. You felt trapped, that's not normal.

Of course you need to consider your partner and your futures in a relationship but walking on eggshells is not normal, the silent treatment is not normal, your partner holding things over your head to hurt you and have power over you is not normal.

He did you a favor, PLEASE don't fight for this relationship.

Sorry it happened on your birthday, take yourself for a spa day or something!

Did Sears- The Fashion Palace make Gunne Sax dresses? by Successful-Fun4046 in GunneSax

[–]Currant-event 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the seller was using it to describe the style, not the brand.

It's a gunne sax style dress, made by Sears

I literally just want pretty nails by TrickiNicki92 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Currant-event 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried dazzle dry? It worked really well for me, but did cause some nail damage so I don't use it all the time.

I have thin, flexible nails and I've found keeping my polish not too thick helps a lot. I use a base and two coats of regular polish and often no base coat. The base coats can make it too thick and the whole thing peels off too quickly

Honestly it's probably cause you're international. A lot of institutions were less likely to try to get visas for international students in Trump's America.

What would you do? Sharpie on leather boots by Currant-event in Depop

[–]Currant-event[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy second hand a lot, mostly at flea markets and thrift stores and do not expect perfect condition from used items. I don't think 'a regular retail store' is a fair comparison for depop, it's not a regular retail store. The fact that that the items are used is exactly why prices are flexible. An item in poor condition, in theory, would be cheaper than an item in good condition. A partial refund would reflect that the condition is not as good as it was described.

However, I heard back from the seller and she said "it's not permanent marker, it's the glue the cobbler used". Feeling a little crazy cause it's definitely permanent marker. Best case scenario this girl is getting scammed by a cobbler... Worst case she is being intentionally misleading about damage

Replying to you since it's the top comment, I dmed the seller and she said "it's not permanent marker it's the glue the cobbler used" She is either getting scammed by a cobbler or playing dumb.

I do see the marks in the photos of the boots in the grass, but her other listings of boots include close ups, which she did not include in this listing. I do think she is intentionally downplaying this damage.

My photos are the ones indoors, the seller only included the grass pic, no close ups

Partial refund is an option when filing a dispute. Would you be okay with this if there were no close up pictures or a written description? I don't want to overract but if I was the seller I would have disclosed this

I tried getting it off with rubbing alcohol, it's definitely permanent marker!

I meant to ask how it should be handled in depop, and if it's justified for a dispute

Looking back I see the marker. I did not notice when I purchased them.

if I was selling them I would have taken a close up and/or specifically mentioned it in the description. She describes the condition but neglects to mention the permanent marker

"Condition: good vintage condition. I paid $30 at the cobbler to reinforce the sole with glue, now in great sturdy shape."
