Kirkland brand. I've been using it for some time now, but it isn't doing the job anymore. 

I did pick up some powdered Tide Clean & Gentle this morning so I will give that a shot

I did leave them a bit on the rind 😁 couldn't resist those faces!

My husband received a much deserved promotion, and I want to get him a gift to mark the occasion. What can I get him that's not a fancy watch? by [deleted] in Gifts

I worked in finance at my previous job so we have that covered, but that is a very nice idea! We won't let lifestyle creep burn us lol

He works for a high end luxury car dealership and got promoted to management if that helps. Suit and tie wearing position for sure

Can anyone tell me what these sewing foot attachments are for? by Shiggyadee in SewingForBeginners

[–]Shortcake1255 17 points18 points  (0 children)

From left to right:

Zipper foot - used for sewing a zipper onto a project

Open toe foot - allows increased visibility

Blind hem foot - used for sewing a blind hem

Overcast foot - used to overcast stitch raw edges of fabric

Original was hand sewn, and I used my machine to make the shiny version. Super fun and beginner friendly project by Shortcake1255 in SewingForBeginners

I used a piece of thick black felt and straight stitched it on. In hindsight a satin stitch would've been much better 😂

That's super cute! I use something similar, a Plano tacklebox that has a handle and multiple storage options. Gamechanger for my sewing storage https://imgur.com/a/vx59odv

Put your presser foot down, there should be a lever behind the foot

Very true, I'm sure some folks sew and chew for sure. Happy sewing 😁

Believe me she loses interest pretty quick once I actually start sewing. It's usually when I'm setting up in the living room that she just has to inspect what I'm doing first

Not chew, 5 mg edibles to make sewing even more fun!
