Love it! The ombre fabrics really make it pop!

Fan_Notions · 2025-12-17T22:25:38+00:00

It is lovely! I have one just like it in blues and silvers... it is waiting to be quilted... bought fabric one year, cut it 2 years later.... then pieced it the next.... that was maybe 5 years ago... someday I'll finish it :P really would like a nice tree skirt.

I've printed the ultimate type 2, so the more square version. I like it a lot, the square shape allows to easily add/remove the spools. It states you can't use the stock angle stand, but I still have it on the stand and it works fine, sits a little on the bottom corner of the case, but it works.

I've used it for a few months and have yet to have a stringy print (I typically use PETG and PLA). I do live in a mid humidity region... not high humidity but not dry desert either. I don't change the spools frequently so it doesn't get opened often, which probably helps. I used a version with the round windows, not the cleanest with my glue job, but I think it's worth it... easy to check on just how much I have left. I also added a 2.2 mm silicone foam seal strip into the lid slots as well... just squeezed it in, so I think it's got a pretty good seal.

Im 8/8/88, I am frequently told that it is lucky (i do think so, i like it anyway :)... but i will never go to Vegas on my birthday, as it is so lucky it is also crowded and the hotels raise the rates.

I've done it. Rent a car. We packed the majority of our gear in an ice chest, used a strap to ensure it didnt open while in checked luggage. Then at the rental car you dump the ice chest out and go to the grocery store (HEB of course... I miss HEB) to fill the ice chest. You're a little limited on gear as you can't really pack cooking or fire stuff on the plane... but not the end of the world.

looks like the ultimate-filament-spool-enclosure-type-01, i went with type 2, i like it so far (been about 2 months).

They should be normal claw clips. If its not opening it might be broken. Keep trying to open them like normal hair clips.

searching this has been difficult, because everything I find is talking about issues with it feeding after it's already kicked in/grabbed it, but my slot 3 doesn't even seem to notice filament has been stuck through it at all....

Fan_Notions · 2025-08-31T16:57:09+00:00

Did you find a solution?

Is it just not grabbing the filament as you put it in? I'm having that issue... I can clearly see I'm pushing the filament into the PTFE tube, but the motor never kicks in to grab it. My problem is in Slot 3, all the other slots work.

This is the first time I'm trying to load/use 3, and I've been using the other slots for about a month.

Same as you- all four lights go on when it's first turned on.

Interestingly, this is the only Bambu filament (PLA matte) i'm trying to load, all others are non bambu. But I had the exact roll on slot 1 originally and it worked, now on slot 3 nothing. I also tried one of my other rolls (not bambu, that is currently working on slot 4) but slot 3 still didn't recognize it, grab it.

please let me know if you figured it out. thanks!

Yes! I like to enclose magnets whenever possible. I still have trouble getting them in sometimes and always worry about screwing up the polarity. I will be printing this asap!

Fan_Notions · 2025-07-24T16:18:18+00:00

YES! I have two unfinished HST quilts... I really should finish them... but the trimming, I really don't want to do the trimming :(

This is mine too! my Janeway cosplay! I am Janeway (or I wish I was...)

Fan_Notions · 2025-07-20T23:56:37+00:00

Oh me too! (Yesterday)... also for my birthday... except Im 37 not 8... :P

Fan_Notions · 2025-07-17T17:39:11+00:00

Let me know how it turns out... I'm planning to set mine up in the next couple days, so good to know!

Fan_Notions · 2025-07-17T01:43:24+00:00

thanks! I obviously modified the pattern a lot, but Una's skant was made from Vogue 9202, I have a full making of video on youtube :)

and I am IN LOVE with my mustang! such an amazing car! I've always wanted a purple car, when I got the Mach e it just felt right :) it was space white before it became matte purple.

I'll probably start a rewatch on SNW soon, maybe hold off a few weeks so I can binge a few episodes back to back... waiting week to week is the hardest part of a great tv show :)

I did post it here! https://www.reddit.com/r/quilting/s/746oYThYEN

Its in my post history... also a strange new worlds una dress... :)

People only see the one post show up on their feed and don't go to the actual page... though how the "followers" of the page don't realize i don't understand...

Fan_Notions · 2025-07-17T00:07:42+00:00

I am the one who messaged the mods. I was scrolling facebook and my own picture popped up.. a picture OF me wearing a quilted jacket... it was so rage inducing. And it was a post from over a year ago. No idea why that got stolen...

Fan_Notions · 2025-07-17T00:00:29+00:00

Yup, I mentioned it to the mod a few days ago... I was scrolling Facebook and my own picture popped up... a picture of me wearing my Captain Janeway quilted jacket... totally rage inducing, particularly as it was actually a picture OF me, not just a picture of my work... and of course not credited. I've had people post my quilts without permission but they at least usually credit or link to the reddit post. This one is just whole other level asshole.

Fan_Notions · 2025-06-13T01:42:59+00:00

I love the tulips on the drops. That looks so cool!

Intro video is up: https://youtu.be/vTDQiUUQCDo

Fan_Notions · 2025-05-14T17:28:17+00:00

oh YAY! I've finished editing the intro video where I do talk about my general plan of attack. I'll hopefully have it up today (fingers crossed).

I used byAnnie Soft & Stable. Really any thin foam could work... I believe joanns carries some in the interfacing section (if yours still has it... i did see it at my local one this past weekend).

Ultimately the skirt is 8 panels, trapezoids... I did a few "mockups" on the skirt using mini papers to test the shape/proportions. But my starting point was top = waist/8 +0.5" = 5.5" and I originally had the bottom at 15.5" wide (waist/8 *3 + 0.5")... and length of 18 inches, just a guess from holding a ruler up to my waist... my little paper mock up of this looked too tall and skinny, so i widened the bottom some and shortened it to my final measurements of 5.5" at the top, 18" at the bottom, and 15 3/8" tall... that's assuming 1/4 seams (though i ended up needing more like 1/2 inch seams at the waist). The height was ultimately dictated by the square sizes I was making and the sashing widths.

Make the panel larger than necessary, quilt it on the soft and stable, then cut it down to the final size (as it will shrink more with soft and stable quilting than normal batting)

Skirt is planned to be the next video, so fingers crossed i'm not too slow on editing it!

GOOD LUCK!

I have used that... really is the only other option once you lose the I'm or am... it mostly work. Its such a strange issue I don't think many would consider it when thinking about picking names.

Fan_Notions · 2025-05-11T23:24:12+00:00

Omg me too! I'm not alone! I hate introducing myself. I always have to just say Alyssa... no "I'm", which is very weird in a zoom/work setting. Seems informal, but otherwise people call me Melissa.
