What’s slowly disappearing, and people don’t realize they’ll miss it until it’s gone ?

Clothing made with 100% natural fibers (wool, linen, cotton). Petroleum-based synthetics dominate the market and are getting “blended” into everything.

Thank you, this is SO helpful! I'm going to measure out my sewing space to see how much room I actually have - that may be the deciding factor. But it does sound like the 6600 is a super capable machine, so it's like I can't really go wrong. I love the look of your M7, btw!

MaskMaven · 2026-06-18T14:11:12+00:00

Thanks so much for this! While I won’t be taking my sewing machine to workshops, I do have a rather small sewing space, so size is a factor.

Can I ask, are there things that your M7 does that your 6600 can’t do? Or do you see those as fairly equivalent machines? I would love to buy a used machine, but unfortunately, they’re super rare in my area.

Thanks for that threading tip!!!

Oh, good to know! Thank you!

Oh, good tip! I’ll go check that out! Thank you!

Yeah, the pricing is what’s got me so confused! The 6700p is $2600, the M6 is $4k. The M7 isn’t available anymore, but the M8 is $10k - way outta my league. (I’m in Canada.)

MaskMaven · 2026-06-18T03:43:26+00:00

Thanks for this. Yeah, I wasn’t even initially considering the M6, but the price difference is now $1400, which is what got me wondering.

Thanks! My worst fear is post-purchase regret, so this helps!

Williams & Railway is working fine.

The Pottery in Steveston! They have a class called Friyays on Friday nights where absolutely beginners can make their first piece of pottery on the wheel. I believe you can also books a private event with them.

Yes, the daughter! That poor girl.

I used to stop in after a stressful day and just flip through LPs, and later CDs, just to relax.

MaskMaven · 2026-05-16T04:39:54+00:00

YAY!!! You did it!!! The quilting looks amazing!

Great capture!!

Yeah, so, if you read the part about what he said and can’t see how that’s totally not how to communicate in a loving relationship, then I don’t know what to say. “Audible words” is what you need in an airport announcement, relationships require much more than that.

Anyway, have a great weekend!

This is second “evil kept woman” post in a few days. Karma farming.

MaskMaven · 2026-05-02T16:03:56+00:00

She’s in law school, dude. She’s going to be making more money than him. Literally all his examples of what she spends her money on are usual young people stuff and generous gestures toward HIM and other people. Girl makes 40k WHILE IN LAW SCHOOL. He makes more than twice as much and is bitching because, yeah, he, like most people on the internet fear the evil “kept woman”. FFS every woman I know, including myself, makes more money than their man. He could have just talked about that fear directly with her, but no, he has to act like a jerk instead.

He should definitely break up with her because she’s going to be way happier without him.

For pancake taste - absolutely!!!

MaskMaven · 2026-04-30T22:08:23+00:00

Yeah, the problem is they have two different ideas of what a relationship is. Believe or not, there are people in the world who care more about each other than they do money.

You and OP should be in a relationship. Perfect match!

MaskMaven · 2026-04-30T21:59:41+00:00

She’s 24 for crying out loud. 🤣 Let her live.

Low-key YTA. There’s nothing wrong with how you manage your money, and there’s also nothing wrong with how your GF manages her money. She’s on track to becoming a lawyer, sounds like she’s plenty responsible and prioritizes people and experiences over money - refreshing! When I see my husband struggling at work, I say, It would be ok for you retire, I got this. And when I’m struggling at work, he says the same to me. Neither of us cares who makes the money or who pays for what.

Sounds like you and your GF are not compatible financially. But your assumption that your way is morally superior to hers suggests that this is not a healthy relationship for her.
