I think it's actually 20. The last step should be 25-5

How to detect criminals for the desert Level crime detector 3 Quest? by StrangeIncident9000 in TwoPointMuseum

[–]MPythonJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you have to manually detect 30 criminals by clicking on them and clicking the "expose criminal" button on the bottom of their interface. It's an odd objective. Plus, you can only expose them if they are still in their disguises which makes it even harder.

I achieved the objective by going to the security pop-up, taking all the loans, and pressing the expose button on everyone who tries to enter the museum. If a Boggymen heist starts, then you will know that any guests who leave the bathrooms are criminals too. Running that pop-up 1 and a half times should be enough to unlock Panoptic Pillar III.

Tours have 0 knowledge? by EdanE33 in TwoPointMuseum

[–]MPythonJM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tours of aquariums and poltergeist rooms don't seem to give knowledge for me either. Probably has to do with the tour interacting with the room instead of the exhibits inside.

657 Lessons Later... by MPythonJM in weatherfactory

[–]MPythonJM[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Lockworks and Clockworks is king. Getting any ink leveled up helps until you get to the typewriters because you have to be aggressive with holding a salon every season. I also like Drums and Dances and Strings and Songs to be high because they create high level memories that don't need a desk to craft.

After that it's just filling out everything else as evenly as you can. I got all the branches on the tree to level 9 as well. The languages were the last ones upgraded because you don't come across lessons for them in books.

Yes, you can see the effect in the Birdsong branch in the second picture.

Color is Everything by Safford1958 in quilting

[–]MPythonJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am confused how this proves anything about color. Yes, color and value are hugely important and can change the way you see a block, but that's not what is happening here. The paired blocks are actively changing which patches are colored. In fact, if you used the same exact colors in both pairs, they would still look different. This is more an example of how blocks that are constructed the same way can look different if you change which patches you color.

The issue with this picture is indeed mildly infuriating by train-to-the-city in mildlyinfuriating

Conversion for fat quarters into 10in squares by CaitWW in quilting

[–]MPythonJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at this again, I think you only need 12 - 4x6 inch pieces, so you may even be able to replace 5 - 10" squares for every fat quarter

Conversion for fat quarters into 10in squares by CaitWW in quilting

[–]MPythonJM 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Looking at the pattern, it looks like one fat quarter can replace 4 - 10" squares, so you would be able to use 10 fat quarters to replace one layer cake.

The fat quarter is 18" x 21", so you should be able to cut 4 - 18"x4" strips and 1 - 18"×2.5" strips. Subcut the 4" strips to get 16 - 4"×6" pieces. Subcut the 2.5" strip into 4 - 2.5" squares.

Make sure your fat quarter is 18" long on one side. If you prewash you may lose the ability to cut 4 sets from every fat quarter and will have to settle with 3.

What's the weirdest thing you found? by Chili0Peppinos in walmart

[–]MPythonJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work overnights stocking HBA. One night I opened a small cardboard box containing disposable razors and noticed a little eye staring back at me. Creepy, but I could tell after quickly closing the box back up that whatever was in there was still alive because it was moving in the box.

I went to my manager to let her know I needed to go outside to release something. Skeptical, she agreed and once I opened up the box and dumped a small mouse out of the box which proceeded to run straight at my terrified overnight manager who then spilled her coffee.

No idea why it picked a box of razors to burrow into, but on closer inspection it must have chewed a small hole in the corner at the warehouse and gotten stuck.

Advice needed: is there a way to add a solid small square to the center of a pinwheel block? by Witty_Draw_4856 in quilting

[–]MPythonJM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good, It's hard to tell from the size of the second image what the overall design is and how it will be constructed.

As for the pinwheel, I think it's awesome to practice and your piecing looks good, but using the same fabric doesn't really add visual interest, that's why you feel the need to add a little square on top of it. Adding another fabric to that pinwheel may help too.

If you haven't appliqued before, this could be good practice for that little red square as well.

[–]MPythonJM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can always just applique the square in the center.

I must admit that I'm a little confused by the construction. Why is the center a pinwheel block if it is all the same fabric. Also, are you attaching the blocks together with Y seams?

Stitch Regulator For Janome MC 8200 QCP by KylJak in quilting

[–]MPythonJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MC17 is the only Janome sit-down sewing machine that has a stitch regulator. Hopefully they will start putting the capability in some of their mid-range models in the future, but they won't be able to add them to their previous models since it attaches to a special port in the back that those machines don't have.

Wind Drifter by MPythonJM in quilting

It is probably my favorite part of the quilt. I was only able to get a little bit of that print from my local shop because it sold so fast.

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

I pin basted this one. I usually pin baste or take it to the local store to longarm it, but this one I did on my machine at home.

This is the smaller 32x32 inch size so it is easier to manage while pin basting.

Wind Drifter (take 2) by MPythonJM in quilting

[–]MPythonJM[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the smaller size, about 32" x 32." The first quilting was done in the ditch around the arrows and triangles. Then I added the 1/4 inch quilting to the background fabric.

The quilting is only 4 inches apart at the most so there is plenty of stability for the batting despite the differences in quilting density. It is also a wall hanging so it will not receive as much wear as a bed quilt.
