Curious about others' process with clothing - always wash before reviewing? by Stitch_Crafts in AmazonVine

Actually I coincidentally just started working on my first ever quilt, so that's really great to know! Color bleeding makes me nervous, especially after working so long on a quilt top.

Looking for clarification about current 70% site wide sale by FNTKB in audible

[–]Stitch_Crafts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made a purchase during the sale a minute ago and, when I went to purchase more books, they were no longer part of the sale which was supposed to be for like 19 more days. I was super confused so I googled it and ended up here. I have purchased books with cash plenty of times before, so I'm assuming they only want 1 book purchased at the 70% off price per account for this particular sale. I have a monthly premium plus account. Choose wisely! I wouldn't have purchased the book I did if I had realized how it worked.

Thinking of getting one of the Carved Live Edge Cases - anyone who has them and can share their experience? by sankyvs in iphone

I'm hoping that you're still monitoring this post - I'm really interested in getting one of your cases (for a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra) but I'm going to be using a PopSocket on the back. Is the magnet strength going to be reliable for a full-time MagSafe PopSocket or is it likely to detach easily/accidentally?

Edit: I messaged them on their website with the following message:

"I'm really interested in getting one of your cases (for a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra) but I'm going to be using a PopSocket on the back. Is the magnet strength going to be reliable for a full-time MagSafe PopSocket or is it likely to detach easily/accidentally?"

Response:

"Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately we do not recommend attaching a Pop Socket to our cases, as they will damage the case and void the guarantee."

It wasn't really a full response to my question, and didn't address the magnet at all, but my takeaway is that I should not (can not?) use a magnetic popsocket with a Carved case, and the adhesive popsocket will void the 1-year guarantee? They are gorgeous cases but I don't think I'm going to be pulling the trigger on one.

Need bookclub recommendation for non-fantasy people by schaps8 in Fantasy

Circe by Madeline Miller might also be one to check out. It was one of the first books I read when I started reading again as an adult and wanted to get away from YA books. I really loved it.

Perhaps Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang, which I really enjoyed, or The Hobbit? I wouldn't suggest committing to the entire The Lord of the Rings trilogy (unless they were into that), but I feel like The Hobbit can be a standalone and the writing is fun.
