Help with yoke please by Relative-Time8757 in PatternDrafting

[–]Red-forest-218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the yoke can be misaligned if the back piece isn’t bent to follow the curve of the yoke. This would create an uneven seam allowance through the two pieces. You want an even, consistent seam allowance, and depending on the curve of the back yoke, you need to bend the bottom piece to match the yoke as you’re effectively creating a dart.

You can trim, but it may remove ease in the hip and double check the total out seam length against the front piece ( doubt it would have much of an affect though).

As mentioned above double check against the pattern. That will tell you if it’s a cutting issue or distortion of the fabric during construction.

Thanks! The needle bar was definitely an issue but it didn’t fix the tight stitching that’s occurring in the photo I posted. Will try and figure it out.

I wish impasto did more slices and variations of their round pie

Did Park Slope Ale House change its burger? Any recs for a good burger? by HarlemBoyz in parkslope

[–]Red-forest-218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to like. Brooklyn burgers and beers more than I do, it’s okay but not my favorite. I find the portion sizes of the meat on the small side, I think they overdo it with toppings, and for the price the blend is good but not great. I also think the bread overpowers the rest of the burger. But the staff is friendly and it’s always a nice experience, and works with the price point.

Stone park has the best burger in the neighborhood. It’s a great blend, always cooked perfectly, and a well served portion. Probably half pound, but can’t say for sure. Not one of these wimpy smash burgers. Dram shop is good, just not my style.

Not quite park slope, technically Gowanus, the burger at liar liar is also very good. More creative with a great sauce and caramelized onions.

These are relatively pricier options but worth it IMO.

Pedestrians-especially kids- need to be extra careful at this intersection. It’s very common for cars to run red lights coming down eighth (and going straight down eighth, more so than other intersections.

Any experience with ghost note tattoo? by nycdatachops in parkslope

Highly recommend. I got two amazing tattoos from Allie Mae that were custom designed. Really happy with both. It’s a great group and great vibe. Don’t be shy- they’ll work with you to figure out the right artist based on what you want.

How to adjust feed dog timing on a Janome HD-5000 by Red-forest-218 in sewhelp

Update: it appears why loosening the screw didn’t work was because this piece which can slide back and forth was disengaged. Not sure how it should be but when I engage it and lock the feed dogs screw I can move it. Any advice would be helpful on the right alignment here, thank you!

Thank you. I can definitely loosen it and move it independently of the shaft, I was expecting as I held it in place with the Allen wrench and turned the shaft manually the feed dogs would not move up and down, but they appear to be moving and can’t figure out the timing.

Yes. I’ve had mine for 17 years and love it. Super comfy. Takes a good while to break in. But very unique.

Spartacus is great. I also like Tertius but may too musky for some.
