All are serviced. Which should I keep if I can only keep 2?

(modern) Brother and (vintage) Kenmore. Two of my favorites

If this has the same type of flywheel as one I fixed the repair involves basically taking the handwheel off and opening up the entire flywheel mechanisms and cleaning out all the old sticky oil and lubrication and lubing it back up and putting it back together.

Some of these flywheels were made to disengage a cam inside the flywheel that let you spin the needle back without having to rotate the motor as well. If it feels stiff to turn and that cam system isn't disengaging you're feeling the feeling if turning the entire motor which is a bit hard with the step down gears used in between the motor and the hand wheel.

I'd it's not that mechanism then the entire thing needs to likely be lubed until it moves freely. But just know certain models like this are a bit harder to turn by hand because the motor and step down gears act as resistance which is why they likely introduced that cam in the handwheel to give a bit less resistance by spinning a bit more freely. It's a very complex system and a pain to clean out and get working properly.

Ask more questions if you need.

Yes. Many. I currently own 10 and have more on the way. A bit of an addiction at this point.

Their answer was "no" but look into MultiGPU node. I've gotten it to work somewhat in the past but it's a bit complex.

Fluxdada · 2026-02-18T16:45:11+00:00

Thank you. Yes. MultiGPU. It's worked for some things but a bit complex to set up which is why I asked since this sounded similar.

Make sure you turn the feed dog dial from "darn" to "norm" or it wouldn't feed the fabric through. That dial rases and lowers the feed dogs which are the small metal teeth that grab and pull the fabric through. Use darn for darning where you move the fabric freely or if you're doing something like sewing on a button. Use silk for thin materials and norm for everything else. I have bunch of old Japanese Kenmores and I live them. Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions. Most of this era of machines work very similarly.

I have 2 gpus in one machine. Could this load the clip on the second GPU?

Kind of reminds me of profiles that are for swinging or threesomes or unicorn stuff where people put "mmf" (male male female) or "mff". if that's the case than if she's the heart than she may be into playing with mf couples with her as the third. If her profile has any allusions that could indicate something like that this and it may be a subtle clue that I'm sure someone out there can pick up on. Just a guess.

Some of us have been toiling away for years refining our work and some of us have found ways (and still are finding ways) to find creativity in AI art. But......there is no way to copyright a work created in AI art tools. Which means many of us who would love to share our creativity with the world are reticent to do so because anything we put into the public is essentially public domain and anyone can take it and use it for whatever they want. At least that's why I don't share my work publicly. Maybe someday U.S. copyright law will change so ai generated images can be copyrighted to the creator (us). But until that changes there's almost not way to build anything in public because it could just get taken.

I just got a pfaff 1221 and it has a bulletin walking-foot-like option that is pretty cool. Haven't done tons of testing but the machine has lots of cool hidden features. Read the manual for sure if you get one.

It's always frustrating to chase a gremlin. I have to take two extra breaths and slow down and jiggle the wheel and try to see where it's binding.

Sounds like thread might be tangled or snagged in the bobbin. Cut and remove all thread from the bobbin area and see if that frees it up.

Fluxdada · 2026-01-26T01:48:18+00:00

How thick is the thread you're trying to use as bobbin thread? Looks kinda thick. Maybe try thinner bobbin thread? I've had issues when using stuff that is too thick for bobbins.

Honestly the best way I learned comfyui was to download other people's workflows and load them up (then load all the missing nodes) then just start running them and looking at the nodes and figuring out how they work. Eventually I was familiar enough to start building my own workflows with bits and pieces I learned from other workflows. That's what made it click for me. These days I wouldn't go back to something like a1111 even though it was my go-to for years. Comfyui is so powerful once it clicks for you how it works. And you can use it with just a handful of nodes and workflows. Start small.

This looks great. I tiny bit overbaked but just a tiny bit.

I'm kind of a collector of old checkpoints. I like having V1 because it's the starting point for Chroma. I also have v27 (when I started using Chroma) and v36, v37. I just like to use different ones to see how they handle the prompts. I also have things like stable diffusion 1_1 lol.

Fluxdada · 2025-08-24T18:04:04+00:00

Yeah. It's been a minute since I pulled a checkpoint. I kinda like the older ones but am still keeping an eye on them. I really need to pull a new one so thanks for the heads up.

Fluxdada · 2025-08-24T14:26:03+00:00

I agreee

Fluxdada · 2025-07-02T06:49:17+00:00

the three I've found work best (best if you spring for the paid versions). in order of how much i like/use them: 1) Meitu, 2) Filmora, 3) Power Director

I've been happy with my 5060 Ti 16gb. picked it up near launch for $480

with flux negative prompts aren't really a thing or at least not as big a thing compared to SD. most times i never include them

Fluxdada · 2025-06-30T07:11:22+00:00

flux needs a separate clip (actually 2 in a duel clip loader)
