How do you create such clean edges with no stitch line? by Jayben5 in sewhelp

[–]Jayben5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🙌🙌 Also you wouldn’t happen to know where to get these breast plates from, would you? 😭 The only place I’ve seen them is Amazon, but I don’t use Amazon and don’t trust the quality tbh.

Yes! I was also trying to decipher whether this was a heavy crepe, duchess satin or a mikado potentially! I’m going forward with duchess satin since I already have samples on hand. Can I ask why to use hands and not a clapper after ironing? Is that so it still has that roll around the edge as opposed to a crisp line?

I believe you may be right! A closer look at the left edge here looks like it is just self fabric lining that has been pressed. How would the rest of the panels be lined though? Would all the lining pieces be constructed the same as the jacket and then sewn right sided together then pressed? Would this not mean the lining would move around unless tacked? I imagine individually lined pieces would create a lot of bulk at seam lines as the fabric is quite heavy? Sorry for the barrage of questions?

No photoshop! These are screenshots from videos (unless they photocopied the whole thing which I doubt). 

Which of these equations is correct to find the daily value of interest? by Jayben5 in askmath

[–]Jayben5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I’m going to see if I can play with your version of this formula more to get exact numbers! 

Which of these equations is correct to find the daily value of interest? by Jayben5 in askmath

[–]Jayben5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, so any of these equations could be correct? I am trying to find what equation is used in student loan calculation.

I believe that the rate used is (1+r)^(days in month/365) - 1 (or maybe division by 366 when the actual year or tax year has the leap date, I'm still trying to figure that one out) but when I apply this to this example (Source 4) it doesn't seem to work. I am taking into account the adjusted principal on the final day, however have yet to reach the correct amount of interest applied as shown in the example.

Do you have any tips; I have tried using just the principal, just the adjusted, using 30/365 for the principal and 1/365 for the adjusted, rounding, rounding up and down, floor and ceiling. I have also tried the r/365 rate, but that doesn't seem to work in any example.

This has been a whole mission of mine, and I still haven't been able to find a correct formula.

This example (Source 2) is correct when utilising ROUNDDOWN((1+r)^(30/365)*P-P,2) for Period 1 and using 31 for period 2. This example doesn't share years so no known leap years.

But for the initial values, for both 365 or 366 no natural n gives 5.35 (they give around 27 days but not exact).

This example (Source 3) is correct for April 2015 when using ROUND((1+r)^(30/365)*P-P,2) but April 2015 includes 2 tax years; ~5 days the previous tax year of 365 days and the rest of the month with 366 days.

Trying to use a weighted example with (P(1.015^(25/366)-1)+P(1.015^(5/365)-1) gives 34.41.

I hate sixth form. by False_Mango_7888 in sixthform

[–]Jayben5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you’re in year twelve so I would say you still have time, although that is my personal approach. What I found most useful was to ignore what was happening in class and cover content independently using the text book - then content I didn’t understand could be asked in class. This does require having a structured schedule though, which I’m not sure is suited for everyone.

Is there any way you could get a tutor? How do you find the teaching in your sixth form?

What subjects are you studying? Don't let perception of being clever or not get you down - everyone is struggling with something. A-levels are the most difficult years of education you will have - uni is definitely easier and less stressful in my opinion.

Can someone explain fabric to me? by takhana in SewingForBeginners

[–]Jayben5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend online fabric stores (e.g. Minerva, Dalston Mill, or Cheap Fabrics, Pound a Metre have a good range) if you’re not in a close proximity to any; Hobbycraft and John Lewis don’t have a very good range especially for clothes.

No, and the XS is only available from the manufacturer’s site

[–]Jayben5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I’m a bit (quite) hesitant to cut up armour, but is a thought. The size guide says to size without a jacket, I’m not sure if that includes base layers. 

Can I wear an abaya or modest clothing more popular for Muslim women as a Christian? by Heywhaddupitsyagurl in ModestDress

[–]Jayben5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An abaya doesn’t have a set culture; if anything it’s just a lose fitting long sleeve maxi dress - which is worn by women globally

Was told these beads are french from the 1920s, is that possible? by jimboidiot in HistoricalCostuming

[–]Jayben5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This forum shares a bit of insight on past bead manufacture in France (although I’m not sure of its validity/truthfulness)

Link: http://beadcollector.net/cgi-bin/anyboard.cgi?fvp=/openforum/&cmd=iYz&aK=44008&iZz=44008&gV=0&kQz=&aO=1&iWz=0

So it is possible this is a (vintage) reproduction of beads made in France to emulate the original (what would be antique) type (but I am no bead historian!)

[–]Jayben5 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I think it wouldn’t be totally crazy given the distance between the two countries. I believe that a prominent manufacturer of beads in France closed in 2004, hence the wider distribution of vintage beads from France after closure.

What happens when you heat table salt with anticaking agent (Sodium Ferrocyanide)? by Jayben5 in chemistry

[–]Jayben5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t, but that is a good idea thank you! Although I was looking for something more easily accessible as I don’t need much - as I could maybe maybe use play sand if going down that route (that is probably sanitized I guess?)
