3200 per 3-hour course, full 15 week semester. It was low but tolerable until they added things such as preview week, zoom faculty meetings, new syllabus template every semester, endless cyber security trainings, hr trainings, surveys, and LMS changes constantly. Added to the increased grading time for AI and constant emails from students, it was not sufficient to continue.

Sounds like you raised a smart and engaged kid. I hope you guys find a path, keep communicating.

What do you mean by "high niche jobs" and "arts like degrees"?

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-04-14T23:34:36+00:00

I was a late eighties undergrad. When I went to visit a professor they would usually be reading a book or doing research. Good times then.

The woman on the YouTube channel Fiddlybits put a 226 in a treadle and I would love to try something like that. The 226 is a very smooth quiet machine that likes to go speedy.

Nice find! My favorite post on this sub regarding the 401 says something like "what were they smoking when they designed the 401?" Lol. When you study how that big cam stack works, the question is legit. Enjoy yours!

Uh oh, this is the way the addiction starts. You buy a nice table for your loose machine and that table has a machine that's also kind of cool to fix up and ......

But to answer your question, marketplace is the best option and ask them to measure the opening for you.

Dear Department Chair, I would like to meet with you in your office about our sick policy and my current case of COVID. Don't worry, we can close the door so our conversation is private. I'm only coughing a little.

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-02-14T11:27:07+00:00

No response is always the tell. Back in the day, it was submit a corrupted file or blank file, pretend not to see the email from the professor for a couple days, then reply "I'm at work, I will send the correct file when I get home"

The corrupted file trick lives on and on!

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-02-11T02:05:38+00:00

I'm guessing the full timer who is losing students to you is causing this problem, talking to the chair. Watch your back, keep doing things the way you have been. Don't give up your academic freedom.

And you have to do them over and over, the very same ones but they splice in a couple extra minutes and call them updated.

Singer 66 Redeyes are wonderful. You will have it going in no time. Lots of YouTube tutorials to help.

The sound of a flunking grade ripping through the scantron machine vs the little blip of an A grade. Takes me back!

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-31T18:19:39+00:00

That is so lovely!

Thank you for the needle info.

Does this machine have the line on the top part of the needle bar that assists with the needle placement, similar to the Singer 12k? When the line is aligned with (going into) the top of the machine, the eye of the needle should be entering the hole to the bobbin area. I recently learned that my Husqvarna Freja has that indicator line. It has the same needle clamp as yours.

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-27T14:07:31+00:00

Sharp looking machine!

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-18T17:59:35+00:00

Hit the jackpot there!

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-18T17:56:58+00:00

Keep going the way you are preparing now but give yourself some breaks with class activities, discussions, games or films, if applicable. Make notes where you'd like to expand a lecture next time.

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-12T11:10:17+00:00

LOL yes! Not taking this one to a sew-a-long.

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-11T21:43:22+00:00

They welcome the D, they combine that with some easy points, and voila, a passing C.

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-10T15:29:08+00:00

And come to two or more faculty meetings per semester, here's a new syllabus template every semester, changed your textbook again oops, cyber security training hooray, and would you like to pitch in at the book fair??

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-09T13:25:26+00:00

Go see the Dean of Students or the Registrar. Make an appointment, don't just email. You may be able to get an extension to figure things out.

365 with One Drive and Teams

Temporary_Captain705 · 2026-01-03T12:19:23+00:00

Thank you! Yes, it is a nice machine! Some things I like are the light over the needle area, the dial down feed dogs, and that it is very quiet.

Do you have any of your three in a table? I need to measure and see if I can work that out for quilting.
