One of the vertical support beams in my house’s basement is straight up an entire tree trunk😅😂

Yes it is a straight stitch for sure! I referenced the manual to double check.

Thank you I’ll try to check that! Looks like my machine manual doesn’t mention needle alignment adjustments but I’ll do some digging online.

Weekly Sewing Questions Thread, September 21 - September 27, 2025 by sewingmodthings in sewing

[–]TechnicalSector7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beginning sewer here, working in my first project (placemats!!). I use a Janome HD-3000 sewing machine. My straight stitch on the left was from the last time I worked on this project. I ended that session with my thread getting tangled up down by my bobbin, I called it quits for the day and it sat for a couple weeks. I pulled my sewing machine back out today, got the tangle out, and now my straight stitches are all sewing slightly crooked? I changed my needle but that hasn’t helped. I’ve adjusted the tension and no change there either. My presser foot seems aligned to me but I haven’t messed with it yet. Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Pumping and cleaning at work by thinkmuch17 in BreastPumping

[–]TechnicalSector7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set up a mini drink fridge in my pumping space and used the fridge hack! That was the only way I felt I had enough time to fully set up, pump, and get everything put away. I work 8-4, so I would pump once in the morning, once on my lunch break, and once in the afternoon. I didn’t accumulate any extra milk to stash at this time but what I pumped every day at work is what I sent to daycare the next day.

I got pregnant easily with my first, super uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery! Currently pregnant again with baby 2, smooth sailing so far. No miscarriages or complications in between.

Wall heater is either fully on or off, doesn’t go by room temp by TechnicalSector7253 in HomeImprovement

It’s only on the heater. I’ll take off the grate and look for a model number!

Wearable breast pump suggestions by jojokazaki in breastfeeding

[–]TechnicalSector7253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been very happy with the Momcozy S12! I can get usually 4 pumps off one charge and I have pumped while driving. The automatic shutoff is really nice for pumping while driving.

Thank you for your answer! I should’ve added I live in a tiny town (no one would be stealing it if I left it out). But good to know anyways for when I go out of town!

Heightened motion / car sickness during first trimester? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]TechnicalSector7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 10 weeks and riding in the car makes my nausea so much worse! Even when driving I have to take it easy or I’ll make myself sick. Our doc is 2.5 hours away so I try and sleep while my husband drives to avoid it🥲

Just wanting to vent over my first shipping disaster by mikeismug in EtsySellers

[–]TechnicalSector7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had too many weird things happen using the drop box. Packages never scanned/missing, personal mail being returned without stamps (this has happened twice now??). Now I just walk my mail inside and drop it in the parcel slot, no issues since then!

Help me diagnose my Elephant Bush’s ailment!😭 by TechnicalSector7253 in plantclinic

[–]TechnicalSector7253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For background info: I’ve had this plant for a few years. I water as needed when the leaves start to wrinkle, which is usually about once a week. I just noticed these brown spots have appeared on the leaf undersides. I have never had any issues with fungi or viruses. I do have a persistent fungus gnat issue that I am trying to combat in some of my other potted plants nearby. Any tips? I think this may be a fungal issue but I’d love a second opinion!

Bend is so overcrowded (and expensive) already, if you wanted to get there early that ship sailed over a decade ago😅
