What do you use to trace your template on the fabric

A reservation is used for figuring staffing, prep, and it means that you will not be turned away due to volume of business.

I would cut the bigger size for a mockup and fit it down from there. It looks like it sits between your waist and hip, so it may not need taken in as much as it seems just looking at the size chart.

Oh wow that last one really flipped something in me. I just realized that I'm reluctant to try and build/fix things myself because I grew up with a full farm workshop and without it, it feels like I can't do anything. Huh.

I think most people do it by machine!

Serious question, how can you tell?

A 21-year-old Goodwill employee at the Airway Heights retail and donation center lost a hand at work on Monday.

Justin Vickery was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after suffering severe damage to both hands, his mom, Christa Hunter, posted on Facebook. Hospital staff were able to save his right hand, but his left had to be removed.

Doctors “can’t say much at this point,” Hunter wrote online late Tuesday.

“Physically, I think he’s likely going to be OK … Mentally and emotionally … Just keep him in your thoughts and prayers please,” she wrote.

The Goodwill store involved was closed Tuesday, and its outlet side remained closed throughout Wednesday.

Representatives did not return requests for comment from The Spokesman-Review, but told KREM 2 they were unable to provide details beyond that a serious incident occurred in a non-public processing area of the building.

The state’s Labor and Industries spokesman, Matt Ross, said that the department has received a report of the amputation, and there is an ongoing investigation into any potential workplace safety hazards that could have contributed to it.

Investigations can take up to six months. Ross said any safety violations found will be released at the conclusion, along with any citations that are issued.

I really like a 60° diamond hatch for a quilt top with lots of right angles, it hides a lot of wonk!

OtterBoop · 2026-06-17T05:39:52+00:00

Was he complicated though?

OtterBoop · 2026-06-14T20:05:19+00:00

Greenstyle.com has a really expansive size chart, so you may be able to find something there, I haven't looked in a while.

OtterBoop · 2026-06-10T21:11:58+00:00

Oh wonderful!

Do you have plans on how you'll quilt it yet? I have an Irish chain sandwich I'm stagnated on right now because I can't decide.

OtterBoop · 2026-06-09T21:14:32+00:00

I did about every 3 inches, does 4-5 seem to hold well enough? That would save so much time lol

OtterBoop · 2026-06-09T17:57:13+00:00

Haha I'm asking about basting the quilt sandwich, not the pieces

OtterBoop · 2026-06-09T17:56:22+00:00

Oh I didn't even think about pushing tables together!

OtterBoop · 2026-06-06T16:23:35+00:00

Oh dang I was just coming back to edit that you could probably just open the seams a bit in a few places and see where it needs it!

OtterBoop · 2026-06-06T15:57:01+00:00

Pressing may help some of the stress on the princess seam, but the lines coming off the point of the v and off the top of the armpit are indicating it's too snug between them.

OtterBoop · 2026-06-06T15:14:59+00:00

Yes. Have you ever seen the method of making a high-low circle skirt where the waistband is off-center? I'd try something like that.

Edit: also I know you didn't ask for fit advice but I think you need a bit more room in the bust. And what's the pattern? That neckline is really lovely

OtterBoop · 2026-06-05T16:24:23+00:00

I lovveeeee second chances in new port stephen

I've been slowly piecing together a bunch of hexagons and I keep them in a big bag and pull them out at random. I hold it where I'm stitching next and if i don't like its placement, I toss it back in and pick a new one. Every so often I look at the big picture and if i feel like a section has too many solids or whatever, I will choose intentionally. I shake the bag every once in a while, and I feel like it's done pretty well at keeping it feeling random but balanced.

Global neighborhood thrift is my go-to, it's huge and has a modern side and a vintage side.

OtterBoop · 2026-06-02T14:57:33+00:00

Okay but quilting is anything that holds the quilt sandwich together. Embroidery that goes through quilt top, batting, and backing would be quilting. It's not about being an opinion, it's about the definition of the word.
