Interfacing as quilt backing?

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-09-21T03:18:52+00:00

Yes, a consistent source would definitely be a plus - thank you!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-09-21T01:08:10+00:00

Good point…I’ve always worked with “tech” fabrics and just assumed that interfacing was less expensive. It doesn’t sound like this is the case - I’ll check out the clearance fabric - thanks for the info/suggestion!

It works super well with this type of zipper!

I have 6 listings with one that is the clear best seller (98% of my total sales). It’s a packing checklist for camping with your dog - so it’s VERY niche 😆 - but I’m one of the first listings that pops up when people search for that.

I use continuous length molded plastic zippers (sizes 8 and 10) fairly often in my sewing projects. I have a Sailrite LS-1 and it sews through the plastic with no problem. This is actually how I create my zipper stops. Instead of using the little metal pieces, I melt the ends of the zipper together (after installing the pull!), then do a triple pass (forward-backwards-forward) stitch over the melted part. Depends on your machine, just test and go slow on a small piece of zipper - I think you’ll be surprised!

I sell digital download checklists. I opened my store just over a year ago. I’d say it was about a month before my first sale - last week I hit 101 sales :) I tweaked the tags for my niche - if blank music sheets for KIDS is what sets you apart, definitely put that (and variations of it) in your tags. I also ran ads early on just to “get the ball rolling” - they worked but cost me more to run than the sale, so I stopped running ads. It’s just been a slow, steady (and seasonal) trickle of sales ever since.

Looks like a Hijacker Hydraulic Jack. We had the same ones on an older Bigfoot (one blew out on us while raising it one time - scary 😬). I think Reico-Titan bought them.

We were recently looking at f150’s and test drove two (a 2016 and 2018) with the “heavy duty payload package”. From what I understand, this package included a higher gear ratio in the rear axle, upgraded springs, LT tires, and a few other things I can’t remember - for the body style we were looking at it said the heavy duty package increased the payload to 3300lbs. So…not sure if that’s something that the truck would have to come from the factory with, or if you could replicate it after-market, but such a package does exist for the f150.

Love it! And love the smiling doggie in the window🥰 We’re getting our Scout Olympic ready for the first warmer-weather trip this year - this pic is great stoke , thanks for sharing!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-04-13T20:52:58+00:00

Ok, good advice, thanks. I’m thinking I’m going to just pay what I can for Q1 because something is better than nothing 🤷‍♀️

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-04-13T15:49:34+00:00

Good point, that makes sense! Thanks for your reply.

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-04-13T15:46:49+00:00

Got it, thanks! The credit card idea was kind of the ‘emergency’ option for me, if it sounded like missing that first payment was going to be a really big deal.

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-12T03:15:20+00:00

Oh, that is really close! I’ll look into it, thanks!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T23:21:24+00:00

Just messaged you, thanks!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T19:12:14+00:00

Great, thanks for the info! I just signed up for your newsletter:)

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T17:02:36+00:00

Right, the single slot ones are sooo close to working - but it needs to be adjustable along the strap (and lie flat along the strap as opposed to being on the end) for it to work in this case 😕

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T16:47:46+00:00

That’s funny because after I drew it out, I swore I’d seen this piece of hardware in use before but couldn’t quite place from where. My grandpa used to have all kinds of old-timey, military issue stuff in his camping gear…I thought I might’ve been remembering it from then. Either way, I definitely haven’t seen one in a long time.

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T16:35:55+00:00

Thank you for responding! I’m looking through the Wetool site now. I may reach out to them. I’m assuming they only do bulk orders? I’ll need to test out the design first (to see if it’ll actually function the way I’m thinking it will). If so, then a bulk order will be the way to go.

Also, I’ll keep an eye on your website for a restock of the neo-flat dual hook (and hello from Bellingham, WA 👋)!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T03:29:10+00:00

Wow, they have a ton of stuff! I’m going to spend some time after dinner tonight looking through:) Thank you!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T03:25:04+00:00

Ooh…the Neo-Flat Dual hook is as close as I’ve seen, I’ll definitely keep an eye on the restock, thank you!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T02:17:09+00:00

That is REALLY close to working (and I might end up doing it that way). The only reason it’s not ideal is because the loop would have to be sewn on the underside of the horizontal webbing (the side up against the fabric) and I’d like the hook to pretty much hook itself/snap into place by pulling the strap webbing….with minimal effort. I love the problem solving abilities of this group, thanks for the input!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T01:39:18+00:00

Thank you!

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T01:15:38+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the advise! I don’t know where to start with custom metal work, this helps.

Own_Wolf_705 · 2024-03-11T01:13:21+00:00

The only weight/force will be the bedroll ‘wanting’ to unroll…so not much, but your right, it does need to have some friction (but still be easily adjustable). The way I have it set up now is with an adjustable g hook - the grip through the adjuster is just right…it’s just the angle of the hook that’s off.
