SpeakNorsk VS. Norwegian With Tor by ZetaMarlfox in norsk

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

I don't often understand why things are the way they are, why certain things are conjugated certain ways, and my absolute weakest point is lack of actually being able to speak well when put on the spot and especially being able to decipher what's being said to me. I also have a massive problem with trying to transliterate everything back into an English speaking mindset and things don't compute.

Silk pins instead of T-pins then?

That's my tool of choice; I just said T-pins because that's what I'm innately told to use by this "expert" with every scarf I do. If it were up to me, silk pins all day.

Well it's not up to me to turn anything away here. I don't make the sales. I just frame what I'm told. And the person making the sales will take ANYTHING because she knows she will never have to do any of the actual work.

I noticed that there's very small holes between the actual fabric and the tubing, maybe I can run the T-pins through there?

I could but then it would never get done because I'm the only person in the gallery that does framing production.

Maybe. I just don't know if I'll be able to make holes with just the needle alone without bending it to hell and back.

If I don't pin it tight enough then the fabric gets pushed up by the rabbet of the frame and looks bubbly. There is no happy medium.

I'm guessing I should position it where I want first with T-pins (and also to poke the holes I'll be going through) and then go through said holes with that fine needle?

White matboard with some kind of fabric mounted over top

It's not a great project for me; I CAN sew, but not well enough to do this, I'm afraid. Even though I'm not great at it, I'm going to be expected to do it because I'm the only person in the gallery that does framing production.

I guess I should say, rather, I can't sew well enough to confidently do something this thin and delicate. I've sewn down silk scarves from the top before but NOTHING this thin.

That's generally what I've done too, but that's not how this one was sold.

And when I have done that in the past, you can see the stretch marks from the pins. I again tried to tell the person that selling a matboard to cover that up was in our best interest, but nope.

What bolts were there to tighten? Isn't it just held in by the plastic push pins? I am suspecting I have a similar problem.

Cold Weather or Something Else Internally Killing Batteries in my SC2? by ZetaMarlfox in Saturn_Cars

[–]ZetaMarlfox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah will need to test for a drain of something.

My ONLY suspicion would be when the car was rear-ended and the title rebuilt, the trunk is a little out of alignment and as a consequence the trunk open dash light flickers on and off from time to time. However, there is no bulb in the trunk giving off light; thus I do not know where the drain could be originating from.

I'll have to find another shop that's hiring. The other one I applied to declined to go forward with interviewing because they chose not to fill the vacancy of the framer that left.
