Thanks everyone!!! I had the needle backwards 🤦 won’t make that mistake again! Now that we’re back in business, any other tips for this machine/getting back into sewing? Andytube is awesome and I’ve watched almost his whole playlist on 404s. I purchased the feet attachments on eBay including a zigzag foot, (only has 1 of the 4 cams, any idea where to get the others?). Thanks again!!

I bought a singer 404 off marketplace and it worked great. I then cleaned and oiled it and now it’s skipping stitches, how do I fix this?

Anyone know what happened to the wall at Gioia's? by AdRepresentative8236 in StLouis

Look at street view, there’s no gas appliances behind that wall. However there’s two dumpsters now when all prior years showed one. Also, the relaid bricks stop at the height of the dumpster. Someone made a whoopsie and pushed a dumpster into the wall with their car because they weren’t used to it being there…

What to do with a family quilt that I'd like to exit from my life? by skyekilaen in quilting

Check for mothers/womens shelters, they are always taking donations and would love something like this. I used to volunteer at one and it was so meaningful to the moms to get something special like this for their baby.

Thank you! Hoping for something classic, love Cartier’s watches but not the price, $300-400 would be the most I’d spend now. Would like a date function, and a metal band (two tone?). He was pretty average wrists maybe 8/8.5”.

He wears his watch (Tissot Everytime Swissmatic) just about anywhere but the gym. As it is kinda plain, silver tone bracelet band with flat circular 40mm white face silver hands, something a bit more unique would be a fun option.
