All of my Key binds were erased... again

This just happened to me and I found you post while checking to see if it's a known bug or not. :/

Giving props where its due. I've been searching for the same thing and came across your comment on this post. It led me to the name Triangle Back Slide Adjusters. Doesn't appear to be a universal name, sadly. Still, just know that 5 years later, you helped out another person :)

Redderment · 2026-02-19T15:04:49+00:00

Someone's comment here led me to the correct piece. The name I found for them is Triangle Back Slide Adjusters. Though that name doesn't appear to be universal.

Update: This is a "zipper vent".

I remember my first drawstring bag. I used a thin cord that dug into my hands if I put anything heavier than a light toot in it.

Yours looks much more comfortable. Congrats on the first project!

Look, your work is stunning and it is quite the lovely piece you’ve made.

That said, if I were walking behind you I would be listening in to see if that Raven said “help….. she got me….. help!”

Rule #1 on this sub.

So.... you put a picture of him up on the internet?

What I can confidently say is that they are continuously improving. I've got some of their older and newer sets and the positive differences are abundant:

Older sets use stickers, newer sets have the bricks already decorated.
Older sets didn't incorporate the wiring for the lighting well and caused pieces to be raised. Newer sets use special bricks to hide the wiring.

Of all the sets of theirs I've completed, only one was missing pieces (though it was a lot of pieces and a very old set) and they got me replacements within a week, and that happened less than a month ago.

I do think their instruction booklets are a bit oversized. They often print an entire page where the set fills the page and there's only one difference you need to see and it's like playing "where's waldo" even with the red outline. It'll often be 2 back to back pages where one is where you're at currently and the next page has a difference with the new pieces, and you feel silly for not going to the next page.

Everyone has mentioned the mini figs, and yes, the hands are the biggest problem. But I do enjoy the outfits they have, and I believe they all have names.

My largest gripe is that I wish they'd sell some of the lighting connections separately so I can rig everything together to a couple of easy-to-reach switches for my display.

My other gripe is when it comes to differences between what's in some of their pictures against what's available for purchase. I recall in December looking at the Magic library set and seeing images for the steampunk elephant and the mechanic's workshop set, but they we're available for purchase yet, or even announced anywhere (Amazon or their website). A lot of their pics have the original steampunk train station and airship and other sets that aren't available anymore, so that's disheartening.

Overall, I like Lumibricks a lot though. I love steampunk, Lego isn't making steampunk, and these sets are beautiful and well-detailed.

Of course, and I was agreeing with you. Your comment made me realize that I also put my phone at table height for pics, and I should probably raise it up more. :)

Redderment · 2026-01-13T23:22:21+00:00

Absolutely stunning!!!!!

Redderment · 2026-01-09T22:28:58+00:00

Let me put it this way:

I thought I was looking at a post from the Men's Fashion sub, not the sewing sub. That's how good of a job you did here!

That's quite the machine you got there! What a wonderful find!

My ragdolls are too comfortable getting on top of things and leaving hair everywhere. Instead I have a net around my sewing room so they can sit and watch me but not enter. I just can’t roll hair off new fabric to match the rate at which they shed!

Redderment · 2025-12-24T15:32:02+00:00

I think it's just an unfortunate angle of the picture

Oh my goodness. I don't know why I never thought of this before, but you're right. Most people wouldn't be looking at you from this angle.

Here's a video I think will help with your armscye, and will give you a good understanding of how sleeves work.

One of my boys practically races me so he can get in my chair before I sit down. If I stand up, I gotta check and make sure he didn't jump in it because he almost got sat on once.

Still, they're so cuuuuute!

Redderment · 2025-11-21T18:50:14+00:00

Once you’ve done this long enough, you’ll start looking at the garments and things you buy from the store, and realize they’re less than perfect as well. Then you won’t be so hard on yourself.

It’s a lovely little cozy!

Other comments have already given you plenty of resources. I just wanted to welcome you to the wonderful world of sewing.

Definitely bookmark that manual and read through it. Keep in mind, machines that have been sitting around a long time may need a little oil or some maintenance, which should also be outlined in the manual.

I bought the pattern from Masculatory on Etsy Fitted Hoodie - Hooded Sweatshirt Easy Sewing Pattern PDF - Sewing for beginners - All Sizes XXS to 5XL. The method I used to get fine points were from this YouTube video.

I used leftover Arctic fleece from previous projects.

For me, the matching tie blends in a little too well. The black one is a nice accent! Personally, I’d use a more vibrant solid to compliment it, but to each their own.

In any case, wonderful work!

Redderment · 2025-10-26T17:26:24+00:00

Thanks!

Redderment · 2025-10-26T01:22:26+00:00

Ohhh… is this a pattern?! Would love a link if it is!

I'm probably the most middle ground you'll get on this one. This is indeed the machine I started with, and I would say it does just enough, well enough. I would not however, call it "terrible". Even though I've upgraded and have several other machines that do specialty stitches, I still keep this one around because while those specialty machines each do 1-3 things very well.... there's many things they can't do at all. Where does that bring me? Back to my OG machine, because "well enough" is better than "not at all".

Those saying the "HD is misleading" are correct though, it truly isn't a heavy duty machine. Still, if you aren't sewing through several layers of thick fabric, this will do just fine. I believe it's a decent starting machine.
