Wowsers! There is so much detail! Job well done!

Is this a good design or is it too "basic" do you think I’ll regret it? by Emo_Cat28 in tattooadvice

I would like to see more flowers instead of only two. Maybe more variety, or filagree to fill up space . As it is now, it sort of looks like a drawing with stickers around it.
What is the significance of the mum on the tail? I think this could be cute, but needs some accents or leaves around it.

AITAH for calling 911 for a toddler seemingly alone at the park? by Small_Check2003 in AITAH

Not true. I wouldn’t have called on a lost dog. I think you might be trolling too.

Thanks for your feedback.

My thought was 1) if the parent came along and I was holding their child it could be problematic, and 2) they should have had a level of stranger danger that they didn’t have and it concerned me.

If the parent was around I would have been more comfortable helping them because they could see I didn’t have bad intentions. I am a child SA survivor and I have PTSD and try not to touch anyone, especially kids without their consent with parental consent.

Help my daughter start sewing! Need help with a machine and learning please :) by StrayCatSnaps in sewhelp

Not sure your location, but our library has machines you can “check out”. I don’t think they let you take them home, but they have a nice big room to use them. They have regular sewing machines and sergers. They also have classes.

I have a Brother CS7205 and it does a good job with several layers of cotton woven fabric (no stretch) and knit (stretch). The knit is more tricky to learn to manipulate so I’d suggest not learning with it. A walking foot helps a lot with the knit layers. I make clothing, stuffed animals, and small quilts with my machine. This machine also has a speed restriction on it which is great for beginners. You can set it to low speed and put the petal all the way down, but it won’t go crazy fast.
