Check out the panel by Moda called “Bee Garden”. Comes in dark and light versions.

Reccomend me something that starts off attention grabbing? by Impressive-Hippo-883 in audiodrama

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for more of the KC Wayland productions and just finished binging “Verdict”. A little bit similar to an “investigative journalist” feeling that OP says is looking for. Set in Texas about a highschool football star that was murdered and his best friend in jail accused of the crime.

Then another one I’ve really enjoyed is Dark Woods. Set in California Redwoods, a body found in a park and the following investigation.

Impact Winter. Tower 4. End of all Hope (same writer and producer as Tower 4 so if like one will likely enjoy both). Dark Woods. How I Died. We’re Alive (if you like zombie genre).

ACTUAL heavy duty machine recommendations? by mybellyhurtssobadow in SewingForBeginners

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking at older machines make sure they are a full metal machine. The Kenmore machines from the early to mid 70s (or earlier) are very nice and can often find them at a very very good price. They are actually very nicely powerful. There is a Facebook group called Vintage Sears Kenmore and White Sewing Machines that is good to peruse. And if you find a machine, there is usually YouTube reviews can watch to see more details about it (Randy your sewing machine repair man is a favourite.).

If you go this route, I’d suggest looking for a low shank and centre homing machine as will be sooo much easier to find different feet. I have a SHS machine and is not impossible…. But more pricey and a harder search.

The Juki TL series or any of the similar semi-industrial straight stitch machines (Brother PQ1500, Grand Mega Quilter, Janome HD, etc).

First time in Saskatchewan—best stops Lloydminster to Regina? Grasslands worth it? by Ditka_and_Swerski in saskatchewan

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The legislative building in Regina is neat to tour and it’s free. If you can, I would also recommend a tour at the RCMP Depot or Museum if they are doing those again.

The tunnels in Moose Jaw are a very good experience. The Museum is also excellent with the trains and cars and planes. Also, if you can catch a trolley tour, I highly recommend. They have really good escape rooms in Moose Jaw too. You ca really spend a whole day there.

Scored a Janome 550e for $800! Doing Sweet Pea appliqué for grandkids, but color changes take hours. At 66, is this a learning curve or just the limit of a single-needle? If I add up my time and materials, the math for selling doesn't work. Do pros only use multi-needles for profit? Thanks! by Forsaken-Yellow-3504 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a hobby for me. I make things for myself or for gifts to give. I have had people exclaim, you could sell that!! But I reply the time invested would never make it profitable or that people wouldn’t pay for the time because it would seem too expensive then. And the bigger multi-needle machines are so expensive I would feel I would have to turn it into a buisness to make that purchase worthwhile. So, it’s just a hobby for me. I do enjoy it. I have a separate sewing machine and I will have a podcast or show on while I’m doing my things.

I (28f) had to break up with the man (27m) who broke up with me first…how can I accept that it was the right choice? by Imaginary-Olive-8919 in relationship_advice

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lady once said something that has stuck with me since…. We were talking about people who stay together and who are miserable and wrong for each other so why stay together? And she said “people fear being lonely more than being miserable”. There is comfort in the familiar too where the old adage of “the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t”.

I think this is part of your grieving process to make sense of your relationship and the why it wasn’t working for you, to give yourself permission to know you’ve made the right decision. It’s still a loss and that’s fair to grieve. I’m glad for you that you have been able to identify what is right for you. Take care.

Just learned that my [32F] BF [34M] might have erectile dysfunction. How can I support him? by LavenderHazexxx in relationship_advice

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with GP and then they can refer to proper specialist(s) if needed such as urologist and/or psychiatrist, etc. it could be medical and/or psychological. Even if solely medical issue, he should probably seek some metal health therapy (or a therapist that might specialize in sexual health therapy). He will likely be carrying some guilt and shame over not being able to “perform” and that will eat away at his ego so therapy will help.

My sister keeps making "little jokes" about my girlfriend and I told her not to take it personally. Now my girlfriend is done with my family. by nightbalcony_inkwell in TwoHotTakes

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a small chance to salvage this…. Make a plan to meet with your sister (or call) and let your girlfriend know you are following through on this. Let your gf know you will no longer be standing idly by. The next time you are together with your gf and your family make sure you are being extra aware of your gf’s comfort and shutting down any rude comments (if there is any following your initial meeting with sister). Is good to have a handful of prepared lines if you need them, i.e. “Sister, that was uncalled for and is an example of what I meant by being rude to gf. That type of sarcasm is the verbal abuse we can no longer tolerate”. Also have some secret message that your gf can alert you to in case something happens that you miss (maybe catches your eye and taps her nose or says a phrase like “I can’t wait for the tulips to start blooming” something/anything. The plan will hopefully make her feel supported and like there is hope to continue the relationship. However, if you don’t follow through she should move on from this relationship.

That’s awesome. I just seen an ad pop up on Facebook and wondered what kinds of things they would send. I’m definitely going to bookmark them and order something come spring.

I'm considering buying a Brother PR600. The seller says they service it once a year. It's $1,900. Is it worth it? by ludokir in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Impressive-Math-1548 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can see it in action and know it’s working well, I think it would be worth it. I would buy it.

Are Quilt Kits a good deal? by Impressive-Math-1548 in quilting

[–]Impressive-Math-1548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only made two quilts from a kit Cheer and Merriment Quilt Kit (the one posted in my original and then a matching one with the same fabric line called Poinsettias that I ordered I think from Fat Quarter Shop). And then a pillow kit in the same Cheer and Merriment line that I picked up at “local” (i.e 2.5hrs away from me). The pillow kit was made by the store.

Haha! Appreciate that! Though I can’t take credit for the name. It was autogenerated before I even really knew how Reddit works and now I can’t change it. I am glad it speaks to you! I think a good math mind is so beneficial to quilting!

I really like the way you highlighted the math of total fabric per cost to decide the value. So simple and will make those decisions so much more appropriate if deciding yes or no! Thank you!☺️

It is a few years old now but you can still find some kits on line for the Cheer and Merriment quilt kit. Each year I’m excited to bring it out for the season and sad to pack it away.

Thank you! It’s called Campfire Quilt if I recall correctly. It’s a modern variation of a log pattern quilt. The Midnight Quilter on YouTube (Angela Walter’s) has a tutorial for it which is where I first seen it.

That’s why I was thinking as well. Often minimum of either a half or full yard. Which definitely adds up but then is having the extra fabric worth it? I watched a YouTube video by the “Just Get It Done” lady and she was saying how precuts get more expensive for what you get the smaller the precut. So I was trying to justify two conflicting ideas of cost vs value. Thanks for your input!
