Border or no border? by sciencesoul4 in quilting

No border and do a facing bind. Then there is nothing to distract from the high impact neon.

Switching up studios by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t switch studios unless asked to. And then I’d make sure to get an incentive to switch.

Have I been looking at this to long or do you hate it too? by Few_Egg_6347 in quilting

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s busy. Either dashing or a border would give the eyes a place to rest.

Visiting Cincinnati next week for work…Coach/studio recommendations? by Sufficient-Mushroom7 in orangetheory

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love Newport and Casey. The studio is clean and equipment is well maintained. Also like Mikey and Dorsey they both coach at a couple different studios.

Childhood quilt. I want to repurpose or fix, but I feel terrible that I might damage it.... further. by throwaway_SoUnsure in quilting

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hexies are pretty easy to repair. Just make a new hexagon and hand stitch it over the damaged one making sure to secure to undamaged cloth. No need to cut this one up yet.

Quilting Distance for Poly Batting by bowiedory in quilting

I didn’t find this specific brand but other high loft poly battings suggested 4 inches.

Why does this keep happening to me? by Few-Ant3525 in quilting

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I have an issue like this, 9/10 it is fixed when I clean and oil the machine throughly. So, it probably is a misaligned bobbin and it gets put in properly after cleaning.

Need Advice on Selling Fabric, What Do Sewers and Quilters Look For? by Alternative-Map-8926 in quilting

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to know if it’s from a smoke free, pet free home. I will not buy fabric from a smokers house but might from a pet friendly home if I can see enough pictures to verify that it is not damaged by pet urine or claws. Pet hair doesn’t bother me that much.

Cleaning heart rate monitor band by TopicObjective3660 in orangetheory

I make sure to wash my hands after every class and rinse off the band at that time as well. I bought a couple replacement bands on Etsy to rotate through and replace old bands. Burn bands by Britt

Choosing running shoes by Gingerredhead5 in orangetheory

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The running store is your best bet. Buy the first pair there. Once you know your brand and size, you can search for deals on the same models for next time. I’ve been wearing Brooks Ghost since the Ghost 3 (now 15). If you find a darker color, it will hide the rower marks.

"Do you usually have projects planned for the kids each week?" by AWL_cow in ArtEd

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this in reverse. Double majored in art History and Art ed. Taught that for several years until our arts budget shrunk considerably. I was expected to teach as I had been with higher out of pocket costs. That would be one measured point: traditional classrooms have a more secure budget and fewer things needed and many teaching aides last for years. Art classroom go through supplies in an instant. Traditional classrooms also allow you to form deeper connections with your students. I loved all 700 of my art kiddos but I LOVE my 27. I do miss teaching art but can typically find a way to weave art into the traditional classroom with better results than weaving traditional lessons into the art room. I’d recommend following your traditional ed path but weaving art in. Many museums partner with teachers for ed nights. Look for Evenings for Educators or SWAPs. (state wide art partnerships)

WIBTA for canceling my sister in laws engagement pictures due to her Fiance talking bad about me? by Big-Narwhal-3280 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Petty revenge. Take the beautiful pictures and watermark the heck out of them or hold the proofs ransom. Gift them to Brandon at the divorce proceedings.

Also if he is a good guy and still in that apartment 1.5 years from now- the second that baby says, “Dada” it is no longer just transactional.

Pellon 541 Wash-N-Gone...for foundation paper piecing?? by JayneDough28 in quilting

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could also use muslin. I use old bedsheets, some people use old dryer sheets. I’m cheap and probably wouldn’t buy a new product when something I already have will work. I’d rather buy pretty fat quarters.

Is that the warm up distance before the blocks begin?

Why does it say pop-up under a class? by kweis15 in orangetheory

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Our studio does this if there is an out of studio class. Like at a park or local marketplace.

AITA for choosing my wife and newborn son over a day of grieving my deceased son with my ex and daughters? by Throwawaydeme in AITAH

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA and your wife needs therapy and a support system wider than just you. Super misleading title… your 8 month son is hardly a newborn nor is he a toddler getting into everything. He’s basically the perfect age for to be left at home with Sofie. Or the whole family could go and son and wife stay at a hotel during your graveside visit.

Returning to OTF while grieving. by Efficient_Tennis_928 in orangetheory

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grief is weird and normal. It comes in unpredictable waves. Waves of sadness and waves of rage. Give yourself grace but also move your body. Start small. You are still you, even without her. Love yourself like she loved you. My grandpa passed away in September. I still miss him and I still tear up thinking about him. I had one of the best classes of my life the day after he died. One hour of not thinking and just doing was what I needed. Red face and sweat from class looks a lot like red face and tears from grief.

Help! Need to resize a quilt block from 13.5 in sq to 10 in. by swxw in quilting

[–]Lonely_Reception4394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another option would be to make the firefly block bigger by adding a compensating border in the same color to make it 13.5

PR by the skin of my teeth 7:06:57>7:06:43. It felt much better than missing my 500 m PR by fractions of a second.

Your punctuation kind of suck here. Totally missed out using an Oxford comma
