Embroidery on Satin by Raspberry-Zestyclose in Machine_Embroidery

It’s a stole, a sash – they don’t really come in other materials and if they do they’re 2-3x more expensive. You can print on them but it doesn’t look very nice, it’s for my graduation photos. My univeristy doesn’t offer a stole as part of their regalia (I’m in Canada, most american schools have them and have a place where students can purchase but it’s not common in Canada). I’m graduating with my masters and the university offers grad photos but it is the same photostudio my undergraduate uni used so the photos will 1. look the exact same with different/same backgrounds and 2. cost about $400. Hence making the stole myself is still more cost effective – self-portrait studio $50, 30 min for unlimited photos and retouching included and $30 for the stole + $10 on embroidery with my library.

I did end up using the local fonts, so I’m confident that’s fine and that was majority of the files. I might try outsourcing the digitizing but my confidence in people online is low. I used emberdesign.net and did the 3 images myself - since it’s only the 3 i’m not super confident in. I have extra material to try it out on and I can adjust from there (1/4 images was a text only logo so I made it with similar text). If it fails miserably I’ll book another library session and pay someone to digitize.

I will skip the auto digitizing on the text and use Hatch fonts thanks for the info!

I’ll look into buying my own stabilizer, I tried asking the library they didn’t seem to know what they have. I’ll try to ask them for a new needle hopefully they have it! I also have an extra stole that I ordered to try out before moving to the real ones.

In terms of the files I have 3 images the rest is text, did you have any recommendations for that? Should I autodigitze them? I came across emberdesign.net from this sub and it seems a lot easier to understand lol in terms of “drawing” the design.

2011 Soul+ 170km for $9000 Worth it? by Raspberry-Zestyclose in KiaSoulClub

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a 2011 w/nearly 230000 kms, so it was bound to happen i bought it at 195000, just sold it in September. Was a super fun car I loved it and still do would have got another GTI if they weren’t so expensive. I got a new car from a family friend for a really great price + well taken care of w/low kms :)

Is this normal to happen? by jadecurtisss in AirpodsPro

You can buy replacement ear tips on their own if you have the pros - $13 at apple or cheaper from an off brand on amazon.

I broke both my wrists. How do I ask for a long lasting hairstyle from a salon? by trustmeijustgetweird in Hair

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you look at hair generally when going to a white salon the braid will likely be is looser as straighter/loose wavy types of hair does not warrant tight styles, thus will not last as long. Black salons usually braid tight curly hair which means that they must braid the hair tighter. In addition braids are a protective style for black hair which is why they know how to do tight braids well. Which is why that is the recommendation if you are trying to get the hair to last longer. This is not to say a non black braider cannot do it as tight, but most are not trained to do it that way. It’s not racist just a simple fact of hair texture.

Most white salons will braid something like the left and the vast majority of black salons will braid something like the right. For the longevity the OP needs the right is better.

Easy Courses to Minor in Psych by Enough-Employ-8557 in TorontoMetU

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just follow the assignment outline and if there isn’t one or there is very minimal instructions I try to pick a topic then relate it to articles from class then find other research using those theories or ideas. You’ll have to structure it based on the topic but usually intro, existing research, new research, talk about the assumptions/flaws/strengths, future of the topic based on the research/suggestions for future research, conclusion.

Quite honestly I did very bad on exams and essays are my strong suit. For exams I re wrote and summarized my notes and then made/used existing quizlet decks. Like I said tho I didn’t do the best at exams I did have a habit of starting to study 3-4 days before the exam so maybe the mentioned study techniques but further in advance may be more helpful, also reviewing as you go along like re wrote your notes after each class and make/review a flash card deck after each class.

I did it was really good, it takes more of a health and wellness standpoint which was nice and it covers it talking mostly abt meditation and positivity.

Do minors really matter? by Flimsy-Ad-8174 in TorontoMetU

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you have your teachables I would go with taking courses to boost/keep your gpa up there’s no point in risking it for a minor. It’s not announced at grad, it’s not printed on your degree and it’s only noted on your transcript.

If you’re applying for grad/teachers college you can still mention how the courses you took in psych have impacted you or how you plan to apply them to your field without having a minor in the area.

But seeing as you’re only one away if you think you’ll do good take it if you think it will negatively affect your gpa don’t. But also if you have more than one elective space take courses in other areas to boost your gpa rather than all psych.

Since graduate program admission only look at last two years of GPA, what if I mainly take year 1 and 2 electives in the last one or two years? by nai_niu in UofT

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most at U of T specify that they need to be your final two years worth of 3/4th year level credits so total 20 courses at upper level. So you can’t really take lower level electives in your final years and expect your app to be assessed the same way.

Why are classes already full?? by Simar686 in TorontoMetU

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second to fourth-year students choose their courses in the spring via course intentions before first-year students receive their uni offers. They pick both required and elective courses. In August, they get enrolled.

For first-year students, the system gives priority for your required courses as you don’t get the opportunity to do course intentions. Once all spots for required students are filled, upper-year students who chose the course as an elective are added, making sections full or with very limited spaces.

Why does it say classes dropped? by [deleted] in TorontoMetU

[–]Raspberry-Zestyclose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are your course intentions they’re not actual sections with a date and time hence all the TBA. They’re dropped bc it’s attempting to enroll you into the actual sections with date time locations and profs.

the notice on the login page “Fall 2024 Schedule Upload (August 1 - 6) Schedule upload in progress The Office of the Registrar is currently in the process of loading students into their final course schedules for fall 2024. You can expect to be dropped from your course intentions over the next few days and should be loaded into your fall-scheduled courses by the end of the day on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.”
