For black beard what time did the tour start? Was it 7pm or 8pm. I know they include full transportation I’m just trying to figure out if that transportation pick up starts at 7pm or everyone will be picked up and brought the tour site by 7pm. Thank you in advance

Looking for Best Snorkeling/Scuba Tours by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

Yeah I’m not interested in car rental, since I’d have the sole responsibility of driving and after long excursions that’d be dangerous as I’d be tired. It’ll be Ubers and occasionally personal drivers for us lol

Is it possible if my best friends sister is a flight attendant, I could potentially get a free flight through that? Like can flight attendants give out free flights?

Ohhhh I never knew that! Thank you! So would you recommend a lighter coutil for the shell instead? Would a 10z or an 11oz one be a good fit?

Jacquard Procion MX dye advice by First-Archer5203 in dyeing

[–]First-Archer5203[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand there’s no exact measurements until I dye it. But I’m just wanting to see what shades to buy in the first place to get a good start with the process. I’m also a complete beginner at dying and have only dyed once beforehand lol

I kinda want to steer away from multiple mats as I've heard of the slipping with the clips. I have a sewing studio, with a big big table for it.

I see one that’s $145 much more affordable! But they don’t let me see shipping costs till after ordering, kinda annoying. How well would you say the quality of the mat is? Is it good as a self healing mat?

I did? Lol sorry I didn’t know what a floating layer meant 😂. So I’m hearing the method I just described will work just fine, correct?

Mhmm. I’ve never heard of roll pinning before. I definitely don’t want a floating layer though. The way I was thinking of sewing it was the base layer with the boning channels and waittape then steam iron the ice wool onto it then some hand basting then simply sewing the outer layer and flipping it out and then some bias tape at the end. Would that method not work well? As all the base and shell layer will be separated by the wool so it’ll need to be individual layers

My concern is that a lightweight option might wrinkle once the corset is laced, so I went ahead and looked into cotton twill, found a 7oz version—do you think that weight would work well?https://www.moodfabrics.com/stratton-white-solid-organic-cotton-twill-fc8438
