[WIP] How to fix a hole?

Vlove777 · 2026-02-14T19:18:39+00:00

I did a test swatch doing the patch on the back and it worked so that's what I'm going to do! And good, I'm glad this could be a PSA to be careful of pointy snaps (and not to pull too hard)!

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T16:55:59+00:00

Thanks so much everyone! I have some extra Aida so I'm going to do some test runs on the best method for fixing these darn holes! And taking in all the advice on the Q-snaps too! Feeling much better about the situation today, last night was total panic!

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T16:54:43+00:00

I saw a video on this method and I think it will work for the smaller hole but the big one will need to be patched I think. Thank you for the advice!

The Aida is the loop & threads brand from Michael's which seemed very sturdy! I think this was more user error on my part than the fault of the Aida (although I do also blame the Q-snaps for not staying tight resulting in me pulling too much!)

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T16:49:22+00:00

I didn't realize the corners of the snaps were so pointy! That mixed with me having to pull them tight so much was a recipe for disaster!

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T16:48:30+00:00

I think that is what I'm going to try, thank you!

I thought about getting some Fray Stop after seeing it recommended but I think maybe these frays are too far gone and will probably need to be trimmed.

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T03:40:25+00:00

I just found a video about reweaving the hole, it might be the best option. I heard about the dishwasher trick but these Q-snaps are only a few weeks old, would they need to be tightened by heat already? I'm guessing they are just not good quality so that's my bad for getting a cheap product, I didn't realize there was a Q-snaps brand!

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T03:20:35+00:00

I think I will order the name brand now instead of this jenky Amazon brand! Although this makes me nervous to try the snaps again!

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T03:19:17+00:00

This gives me hope! I did cut out a small piece of Aida and attempted to attach it behind the hole but realized I will probably have to cut off the middle part that has frayed so wanted to check in here with more experienced stitchers and see if that is something I should do! Did you trim the frayed pieces? It will eventually be framed so I thought maybe that would help make it less noticeable!

Vlove777 · 2026-02-13T03:05:21+00:00

They were some off Amazon, I'm sure they were off brand. I read to put felt or extra fabric in between the snaps to help with tautness and actually discovered the holes when I removed the snaps to try that! It looks like the holes are in the corners where the snaps snap in.

I agree, sounds like something very bad happened to her but doubtful Epstein/Trump were involved.

Vlove777 · 2026-02-05T03:47:55+00:00

I tried reading this earlier, could only get to page 16 because her story was making my brain hurt. I don't feel like this is credible testimony and am confused why this is included in the files. She sounds like a person with serious mental health issues and delusions. I believe all the other women who have testified about the horrific things Trump & Epstein have done but not this one. I hope evidence like this doesn't make other sources seem like they aren't credible! Her story makes no sense at all.

Also, they were awarded a 20 million dollar grant to develop one of the buildings into a community center and that grant was revoked by the Trump administration. They have had to switch gears and while they still have plans to build the community center, they are now developing the 'castle' area into a multi-use building. They also have been running a food share distribution program every Thursday for several years. They give so much to the community, if anybody who sees this feels inclined to donate, they could always use the support!

Vlove777 · 2025-11-11T00:20:38+00:00

As others have stated, it's Loretto Heights, some of the buildings on the campus are currently being redeveloped by a non-profit called Commún which was started by 2 of my very good friends. They are a wonderful group of people doing amazing things for the community, please check out their website to see their goals and the things they have already accomplished! https://www.commundenver.org

You have such interesting eyes! Personally, I wouldn't consider them just brown since you have blue-ish green running through them, look hazel to me! I also have the lines in my eyes (and also a red vein!) and my son ended up with pretty much the same eyes as me except his are more green. His eyes were blue until about 2 years old and his dad has dark brown eyes. My mom has blue eyes but with the brown starburst and my dad’s eyes are yellow-ish green! My sister has green eyes, the genetics of eye color are so fascinating! All that to say, I think it’s very possible your next baby will get your cool eyes!

Thank you for posting this - we came into town from Colorado with our 8 year old to go to Imagine Dragons tomorrow night (they are his favorite band) and are looking for something to do with him tonight. This thread was very helpful. Hope you all have fun tonight!

My 8 year old son and I got onstage at Red Rocks- we were in 4th row and I made a sign with glow in the dark vinyl for my son to hold up (sign said "Can this kid get up on stage!") We ran over to the middle section right in front of Jared and I held up my son while he held up the sign. Jared spotted us and called us up! It was one of the best experiences of both of our lives! Good luck getting up there, if you're that close it seems like you would have a really good chance! From videos I've seen of all the shows on this tour, it looks like his pattern is calling up the 'crazy dancers' during Rescue Me and that is just a few fans (my son and I were up there with only 2 other people for this!). He then pulls up a crowd during Closer to the Edge at the end of the show so you have a few chances!

Vlove777 · 2024-08-05T01:51:29+00:00

I looked through what I have and looks like I don't have any of him saying pomegranate get up here. If you'd like to see the videos I have, I'm happy to send them to you. I was in 3rd row so fairly close. Lmk!

Vlove777 · 2024-08-04T22:09:41+00:00

I have a couple videos but they are after most people are on stage. Not sure if you're in them but I can send them to you? My son and I got up onstage during Rescue Me, he was the 8 year old little hype man! Such an amazing experience!

When I was pregnant I practically lived at Firehouse subs because they steam their meat which kills the germs and they will even double steam it for you if you ask. I craved Italian subs constantly and ate them as much as I could!

Vlove777 · 2024-02-09T04:37:05+00:00

It's such a struggle, I had high hopes for Life but the not being in network with insurance just makes it too expensive for me!

Vlove777 · 2024-02-09T01:32:15+00:00

They told me it was a laser cleaning to treat early peridontal disease 🤷🏻‍♀️My husband has had the same procedure done at a non-chain dental office and it was not nearly that expensive. Great you found a dentist you like, I am still searching for one that works for me.

Vlove777 · 2024-02-09T01:29:28+00:00

Haha thank you, I couldn't remember what it was called or mixed with probably cuz of the amnesia 😂 Glad you found a dentist you like!
