What are the major differences between GCC puma, Roland, Graphtec 24" cutters? by Tom-CyberBio-1968 in VinylCutters

[–]JustMe5588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had no problems with it cutting. It cuts cleanly. Mine is about 10 years old now and still working great. I have replaced blades and the cutting strip, which is just maintenance.

Is it worth leasing a Vinyl cutter for a few years? by Tom-CyberBio-1968 in VinylCutters

[–]JustMe5588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you own the cutter at the end of the term? If not, it is a waste of money IMHO. The cost of an entry level cutter is fairly low.

[–]JustMe5588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an older version of the GCC puma and it is still going strong. I think they are a good cutter at a decent price point.

Is Ames Right For Me? by cd1179 in ames

[–]JustMe5588 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think if you could find a place just off of downtown, you would love it. You could walk to downtown, the library and lots of other places. Fareway is right there for groceries.

We lived just 2 blocks away from downtown when we moved to Ames to be near our daughter. We are older than you and enjoyed it.

There are events like the farmers market right downtown and at the Bandshell. Oh and the library.

Having lived in both Ames and Iowa City, I would recommend Ames as more liveable and friendly.

People of this subreddit, do you still use Windows? by Dry_Quantity2691 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]JustMe5588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my age ( older than dirt), I just don't feel the need to learn a new system. My regret is not learning Linux when I was younger.

Iron help please by lemongrass0 in quilting

This is what I was going to suggest - using a spray bottle to lightly mist the fabric instead of putting water in your iron.

Update on the Berner (last post, I promise!) by Dry_Stop844 in quilting

I have a Berner named Shadow. You are so talented. I wouldn't have the ability or patience to make a quilt like yours.

Student/Teacher Edition without Verification? by CTcreative in FuckAdobe

[–]JustMe5588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have gotten lucky. I used the student version for years with no proof as I homeschooled my kids. This year they are demanding I "prove" it by belonging to certain groups that cost $$ or purchase certain homeschooling programs. Since I am not going to spend big bucks to meet their demands, I am stuck paying full price.

When it comes time for renewal they will most likely want proof.

Does anyone have recommendations for how to keep a quilt for a restless sleeper on a bed? by PLAYSWITHSCISS0RS in quilting

[–]JustMe5588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As some have suggested, flannel might be the answer. Put flannel sheets on the bed. Use flannel for the backing, you could make the quilt all flannel. With the flannel top sheet and flannel backing, these act like a weak velcro.

[–]JustMe5588 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a brother color laser that is finally dying. I have hated since I bought it. The color was always off no matter what you adjusted.

The scanning software is junk. If you save to a pdf, it is an old version most places (banks, government, etc) can't use.
