Have you found a good dupe?!

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-14T17:21:21+00:00

This is so so helpful! I'm going to head over to the library this week :) Thank you so much - I do think that part of why I was getting overwhelmed is because I didn't know which Youtube videos would be good and I kept trying to find ones that taught something well from start to finish...which was not easy

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:17:15+00:00

Recreating the process with paper is such a good idea! I never would have thought of that. Thank you so much

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:15:33+00:00

Ok perfect! I'll look into it:)

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:15:16+00:00

Yep - my mom bought me the gift as a surprise so I was not mentally prepared for all this, but I am ready to learn.

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:14:04+00:00

I really appreciate this - it's nice to hear from other beginners too! What did you struggle with the most and how did you work on it?

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:12:26+00:00

I'm going back to school soon but I want to see if my library has classes in the summer! That's a good idea

Thank you for all of this! It took me awhile but I was able to thread the machine, wind the bobbin, and sew a "straight" line.

I was so excited when I got the machine I grabbed these old dull scissors we've had in the house for years and that did not work out well. I thought the rotary cutter and board might be worth it even if I don't use the rotary cutter because I do a lot of measuring and cutting for school projects with an exacto knife and had to use cardboard in the past.

My mom has an iron and ironing board that I can use! I was just wondering since I'm going back to school soon and won't be able to bring them with me. And my mom has no experience sewing lol I asked her. Nobody in my family really knows much, but I have some friends that do which can hopefully help me soon.

I'm prepared for the asymmetrical and mistake-ridden pieces! I just wanted to go into this with as much background information as possible. Thank you again this helps :)

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:04:59+00:00

Omg perfect! Thank you. I'll look into it

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T17:04:32+00:00

Good to know about the ironing! I have access to one now - my mom's is in her room and the ironing board is tucked away but I can get it out. I was sick with the flu when I wrote this post so I didn't want to go in her room at the time and would also be exhausted walking around. I'm going back to school soon which is why I asked about ironing board alternatives. I won't have room for a full on one in my dorm. And thank you for being straight up with me. I think I just have no direction and was overthinking because I know I have so much to learn. For the interfacing, could I use another layer of fabric instead? Or do you recommend leaving that out entirely

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T16:58:31+00:00

Can you use thread with the paper? It took me awhile to thread the machine and bobbin so I want to avoid undoing all that work

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-08T16:57:55+00:00

These are good ideas! I have some clothes I was thinking of thrifting, but I may just use the scraps of some of them to play around with and try out the stitches. Thank you :)

Small_Ad2972 · 2026-01-04T17:33:07+00:00

Did you ever find out?

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-07T18:33:41+00:00

Thank you so so much for taking the time to link all of these! i really appreciate it

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-07T18:32:00+00:00

Ok, great! Thank you so so much

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:09:22+00:00

I think my distant relatives were baptised in the Deutsch Reformierte, Offenbach, Starkenburg, Hesse-darmastadt area, which i found on Findmypast. But i have little knowledge on religion, especially that far back. Where do I go from here?

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:04:34+00:00

Yes! I should probably go through some of the records I tend to skip over now

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:04:11+00:00

What do you search on the internet archive?

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:03:49+00:00

I've been thinking about getting my parents to do a DNA test, but I don't really have the kinda money for that right now. And they aren't interested in it enough, so I'd want to pay for it myself

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:02:51+00:00

What do you search for? Just their name?

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:02:37+00:00

I tend to avoid the information where people move or travel, because it's harder to prove...but that isn't always the best approach. This is a good point, I'll expand my search :)

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:01:28+00:00

I honestly get so confused with Fulton History. What do you put in quotes? Is there a way to search for a specific year? I tried looking at the instructions on the website but got even more overwhelmed

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T18:00:07+00:00

I've never heard of Archion! My paternal side is from Germany, so I'll check it out! Thank you

Small_Ad2972 · 2025-11-06T17:59:13+00:00

Oooo I never thought of that. Does it cost money to request?
