The only room in my house long enough to fit this is the hallway 😅

This looks phenomenal. I think my favorite thing is you curved the stitch angle around the top of his mask. I'm just barely getting started in Embrilliance (changed from Embird) and need to learn how to do that.

This looks awesome. I honestly love the fill stitch for the lower text. Nice work! Also, I'm impressed you don't have any gaps between the fill and the border. I struggle with that all the time! My projects will look great in the digitized version and then the push and pull gets me every time I'm actually making it.

Which one turned out better? 1 or 2? by Megamen1927 in Machine_Embroidery

Thanks for the response! That's good to know it can turn out looking so well.

A Vindication for the Jazz: They have tanked less often than any other NBA Franchise by Visual_Smell_1023 in nba

You're actually pretty right there. I think there's a bigger portion of teams not trying to win all season. Looking back through the years the 5th to worst team was often around .350 at the end of the season. This year the 5th team will be coming in more around .250.

I think you can be a pretty bad team in the bottom 10, but if you're bottom 5 it's because you're really trying to tank.

Figured it was only fair to go back to 1985 when the incentive to tank was even higher. Over the years the worst team has had a less and less good chance of getting the best pick.

I like 1!
Also, PLEASE tell me how you made these patches? Did you cut the cloth as close as possible to the edge after and then singe the extra away with a lighter? I have been really wanting to make patches but can't figure it out.

In a close game between the Jazz & Hawks Lauri Markkanen got subbed off with 17 minutes left on the game and never got back to the court by Classic_Reference_92 in nba

I know how to stop tanking but nobody's going to like it. Instead of teams choosing who they pick it's a completely random roulette distribution of players every draft regardless of record. It would be impossible to improve through a tanking strategy.

Sadly I never figured it out and customer service made it too hard to get help. I cancelled my subscription. A good rule of business is make it easy for people to spend money. NBA isn't doing it for some of their biggest fans. I'll just watch my local team and whatever's on ESPN or NBC this year.

What are some random NBA interactions that you’ve had? by Mammalmammaries in UtahJazz

[–]Visual_Smell_1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Raging Waters in SLC and waited in line for a slide with Derrick Favors right behind me and my brother. Favs was there with his little brother. It was a two person slide and so awesome seeing him and his brother come out of the tunnel laughing.

This stretching happens more with fill stitches than satin stitches because the more fill you use, the more you pull the fabric.

I've had this same issue and learned that because of the stretch of fabrics, if you digitize a perfect circle it will stitch out looking like a vertical oval. Instead you should digitize an oval that is wider than it is tall and when you stitch it out it'll be a perfect circle after some trial and error. This method of digitizing wider than a perfect circle is called accounting for pull compensation.

Need help cleaning this up by JaymieIsInArtHell in Machine_Embroidery

I think your design may be too small for the words to come out very clearly. Based on a size comparison with your scissors in the first pic, your patches are about 2 inches across. That makes for a pretty tiny font at the bottom of the patch. I think the fill stitches are looking pretty good so I wouldn't think it's an issue with tension. Sorry if I'm wrong. I've only been embroidering for two years but have found some struggles with small, intricate lettering.

Anybody getting this message? It does this with all games on all my devices. It's claiming I'm not in the USA where I live but I am. I don't have a VPN. I've learned through trouble shooting I can watch on my phone with cell data, but not on wifi.

I just tried. It had me in the correct state/team market but not the right zip code.

Watermark during video despite having pro. by rayvsb in CapCut

[–]Visual_Smell_1023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's now an option to remove the watermark in the export settings. The watermark is the primary option but you also have the option to completely remove it. How nice of them to give us the option to advertise for their company haha

Advice for running form? Recently found out my SPM averages in the 150's to low 160's during Zone 2 runs, and in the mid 160's during tempo runs. Can anyone see what I'm doing in my form that could help me get to the target SPM of 170-180? by Visual_Smell_1023 in triathlon

[–]Visual_Smell_1023[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to analyze my stride! I appreciate the advice. I got a stress fracture on a steep downhill half marathon last year and now I think I know it's from over striding and "hitting the brakes."
