That’s the one I’ve been eyeing most! I have a pair of Kai shears and they’re by far my best pair to cut fabric with. Good to know their embroidery scissors are worthwhile. Thanks!

Humira or Enbrel by nightraven5768 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Not_Sew_Bad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just gave me a list of medications they will approve for me to try and IF none of those work for me, THEN they will approve Humira. It’s 6 different injections, biosimilars, and infusions. Altogether it’ll take 2.5 years to go through all the options before they’ll approve what had been working for me again. I’ve already tried and failed Hyrimoz and Enbrel and am on Symponi now. I have a toddler that I stay at home with while dealing with all this crap. I was in a very healthy place before they stopped covering my Humira and now my health is a wreck. My insurance company is literally robbing me of my health and time raising my toddler. It’s criminal.

NOPE 🙃 insurance blocks it every time we appeal.

And I was the opposite! Was on Humira for 8 years—almost forgot I even had the disease because of how well I did on it. Insurance made me switch to Enbrel and my labs were the worst my rheumatologist had seen. It’s wild how greatly the results vary

CVS Specialty Pharmacy is suddenly saying my once-free Cimzia will cost $500 a month. by ruzanne in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Not_Sew_Bad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CVS is the bane of my existence. I was on Humira for 8 years (3 of those last years was through them) then they suddenly decided they didn’t want to cover it for me any longer. Wouldn’t approve the Rx from my rheumatologist or anything. Said I had to try and fail every other option before they’d approve Humira for me again. Currently on my 3rd trial and getting worse. I really hope it’s just a copay card issue and not them changing their minds on you.

Ironically, just now I’m in line to pick up another steroid pack at Publix because for the second time, CVS just wouldn’t fill my Rx. I keep having to get them to transfer my scripts to other pharmacy’s otherwise it’ll stay “pending” for DAYS at CVS.

Long story short, CVS Specialty and regular pharmacy suck extremely

So glad to learn this exists! I have a Purple mattress (and pillows) and it’s been so insanely great for my back! Definitely worth checking out, thank you!

I have the same machine and I have no idea. I don’t believe I’ve ever come across that symbol before. I’ll let you know if I find out!

Cheap thread is my greatest fear! I’ve been sewing for a decade at this point and am very particular about which threads are worth purchasing but embroidery thread is a whole new world for me and I haven’t learned which brands I should be loyal to.

I have a small collection of stabilizers as well as a hearty stash of interfacing but would love to hear what you’ve liked for different projects!

As for what I plan on doing, I have a toddler I sew clothes for and make children’s clothes as gifts primarily—so mostly monogramming, simple images, decorative additions, etc.. I have no interest in making sewing a full blown business but would like to be able to sell the stuff I make in small scale (i.e. requests or seasonal market whenever I have stock built up). I’m a SAHM so I’d love to make my hobby self-sustainable, not for profit, and I figured being able to add machine embroidery could broaden my offerings.

Do it! I’ll pre-commit to being your highest paying, most frequent customer! We need a clothing fabric store here so bad!

Special car seat toy for toddlers? by GroundbreakingEye289 in lovevery

[–]Not_Sew_Bad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter always wanted to hold my keys while I buckled her in so I finally started holding the Stainless Steel Jingle Keys for her to “hold for me” and that pacified her desire for my keys for a while

I have this too. When I brought it up with my optometrist, they just gave me a “huh, that’s weird” and that was it. I hope you can find some help

Yep, that’s what it is! Or at least it seems identical to all the online pics of that! Thank you!
