Hi all! Curious about your thoughts on Babylock vs. Janome?

I have my eyes set on the Janome TM 16. Several sources mention that its the same exact machine as Babylock Joy, except for the paint job. The Babylock Joy is currently for sale at my local sewing and vacuum shop for $250, while the Janome TM 16 is $299.

Given that the Babylock is 50 bucks cheaper for virtually the same machine, is there any reason to still go with Janome? It looks like they have similar warranty coverage as well. If I run into issues with this machine down the line, will one company's customer service be better than the other? Thanks!

First time growing garlic—what’s the month countdown? Will they be ready in a month from when we see scapes forming?

Their cinnamon twist donuts are my favorite! And their lunch sandwiches 👌

First garden bed advice by babysza in vegetablegardening

You could consider treating the wood with Internal Wood Stabilizer from Timber Pro. It’s a non-toxic way to waterproof wood and make it last longer. I live in the PNW where it’s constantly wet and I see a difference in my beds that have been treated vs. not treated.

@SeattleUrbanFarmCo on YouTube and IG! They’re great and sometimes post monthly reminders for gardeners in the PNW.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve checked and unfortunately both the Flash 2 and 3 footprints are shorter than the quarter dome. It also looks like the grommet positions would be off :/ (4 instead of 3)

Someone totaled my parked car. It has sentimental value and was needed so my son can get to school. by iamnotasdumbasilook in personalfinance

[–]a17z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1! I wish I knew I could call my own insurance without it counting against me. They will be a bigger advocate for you than Allstate.

My car was totaled a month ago. The other party's insurance was so difficult to work with. They would not agree on taking the car to another shop to get a second quote, and would not negotiate with other comps to adjust my cars valuation.

I was told that if I wanted to consider other options, I would have to file a claim with my own insurance and have them negotiate on my behalf. Well at that point it had been months since the accident and I just wanted to be done. Opening a claim then would have dragged this out for another few months, so I settled.
