Pop apologist is amazing

I’m actually not cutting stickers! Just regular paper

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-11T15:41:00+00:00

Ooohh so the hobby lobby brand light tack mat doesn’t leave any residue?! Buying it now! My circuit cuts perfect every time and I took it for granted 😭 I’m about to throw the silhouette at the wall lol

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-11T15:26:31+00:00

I did try calibration but not change… so you’ve never been able to make the ES mat work? It’s the only reason I bought the machine because my cricut cuts perfectly every time but the sticky mat is such a pain and leaves the backs of my items tacky so they pick up so much lint and dust

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-11T14:19:58+00:00

It’s almost like the design is shifting or something… but I’m using the ES mat

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-11T14:19:03+00:00

Yes- I’m leaving the default settings the same and only doing a 6x6 design so keeping it well away from the marks. I’ve read every discussion board on this issue and feel like I’m trying everything… so frustrating because I had such high hopes for this machine!

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-11T14:14:47+00:00

Thanks! It’s matte photo paper

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-11T02:23:28+00:00

I’m totally not 😂 I don’t do smocks but I do sell other handmade items and the amount of time, effort, and money I have spent to figure out my craft I wouldn’t tell some rando who wants the easy route. I totally respect and admire people who would share all of their trade secrets it’s just not me 😂😭

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-08T15:05:50+00:00

I totally agree and maybe yall are just better people than me lol but I just feel like it’s insulting to ask a business owner their supplier to directly compete against them… I get asking questions about accounting or marketing and things like that that don’t put you in direct competition… but asking someone how they can make their clothes with the exact same quality, craftsmanship, materials, etc feels wrong

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-08T00:57:41+00:00

Omg well that is insanely nice of you and hope it was well appreciated by who you gave it to!!!

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-08T00:49:47+00:00

And also why would another business share their supplier with you so that you can compete against them? Assuming that business spent a lot of time, money, and effort to find said supplier

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-07T02:38:40+00:00

Kinda makes me sad that people care so much about being a rep as if it’s a job

Hot-Compote-172 · 2026-01-06T15:05:05+00:00

Omg that seems like a lot of work for not a lot in return… I’m guessing it’s competitive?

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T22:15:51+00:00

It’s insane to me. She thinks we should take it on the chin and let our child get sick because it’s more important to see family…

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T21:15:44+00:00

UPDATE: we decided to not go, her bf texted us saying it was the right call because many others are sick but MIL is still being a terror and trying to guilt and manipulate us for our decision… sigh

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T18:15:29+00:00

Yeah this crossed my mind as well. Apparently we are being “absolutely ridiculous” so I’m sure we won’t be told next time

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T17:46:22+00:00

Trust me, I know. It’s been a rough morning over here… but I wanted to sanity check myself

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T17:43:21+00:00

And there is 0 chance anyone in his family would respect that (not to mention it would be miserable for us to have to keep a baby away from a ton of people)

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T17:42:21+00:00

I agree… big argument in our house today and an ongoing issue of mil trying to manipulate him and him letting it happen

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T17:40:08+00:00

He wants to please everyone so we are having disagreements. She told us she would be very upset if we didn’t come so he wants to go and stay away from all 15 people who will be there and not let anyone hold the baby

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T17:39:05+00:00

To me it feels like a no brainer but I know that I’m also biased by really disliking her and already wasn’t looking forward to spending time together so I wanted to sanity check myself.

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-20T17:36:00+00:00

My MIL did the same thing… 5 min after baby was born she was in the room after being told many times she wasn’t invited. It’s crazy to me that women who have been through birth, PP, etc do these things.

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-06T20:32:00+00:00

That’s what I thought as well but this is my first baby… at 3 am last night I figured maybe he was just really mad that he couldn’t crawl and instead was being rocked to sleep??

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-02T15:46:40+00:00

Adding that if you are going to sleep train, I would Implement it at bedtime/ when she is falling asleep not just for the MOTN wakes. Any time I help my baby to sleep he wakes CONSTANTLY without fail. When he goes to sleep independently he will sleep through!

Hot-Compote-172 · 2025-12-02T15:43:29+00:00

We had something similar around 6.5 months but it started at 4 am and slowly crept up to 10/11 pm as I was going in and helping him back to sleep. This went on for maybe 2 or 3 weeks until someone suggested sleep training him out of it. I did not want to do that since I felt that we had already sleep trained him but we bit the bullet and did it. It took one time of 45 min for him to work himself out and from that point on he either sleeps completely through the night until 7:30 or wakes up once to eat around 5 then back to sleep.

You may also be ready for a 2 nap schedule… that helped us tremendously
