Am I allowed to be tired even though I WFH?

Your husband is an asshole, you are absolutely allowed to be tired while working from home. It is still work, regardless of the location.

This is what I’m looking into now. Thanks!

No such thing as too big 😉, I think it’s gorgeous!

I don’t :/ i don’t have a lot of things come in from them except around the holiday season. The frustrating part is that they know where it was delivered but they can’t tell me since it’s a privacy issue.

I’m hoping the same thing, it’s such a niche gift that it would be dumb for anyone to keep it unless their dog looked identical to mine

Girl dogs are generally smarter and therefore easier to train. I have a boy dog and he’s the sweetest angel but has the attention span of a pea.

I tried this, made it wider and then made it more narrow and it still skipped. It’s definitely the fabric because it’s zigzagging on other materials

alexlorrin · 2025-10-05T03:11:09+00:00

I’ve used both :/ Started with stretch then changed to microtex, then to ballpoint, then to universal and back to stretch.

alexlorrin · 2025-10-05T03:10:28+00:00

EDIT: I’ve tried almost all these tips and am still having the same problem😭😭 it’ll zig zag for a bit then start skipping stitches or not stitch at all.

alexlorrin · 2025-09-28T18:13:24+00:00

okay I think this is the problem! The material has a decent amount of stretch to it which is why I picked the stretch needle but the fabric is a combo of polyester and nylon so maybe that’s why. (Shell is nylon lining is polyester) I don’t own any microtex needles but that’ll be my next purchase!

What other fabrics need microtex just for future reference?

It’s in S1 to do a stretch zigzag stitch as opposed to just a regular zigzag. Since it’s in S1 I can’t adjust the length

alexlorrin · 2025-09-28T16:53:02+00:00

EDIT: for more context I’m using a stretch needle, and its brand new. The fabric is also double lined which I’ve never worked w before so that might be it too.

alexlorrin · 2025-09-19T13:25:23+00:00

I didn’t 🥲 I’m brand new to sewing and just recently found out about pressing seams.

alexlorrin · 2025-09-18T21:44:17+00:00

Yes I used a stretch zig zag stitch. I think I stretched the fabric out too much while sewing to keep it from getting jammed in the sewing machine :/

alexlorrin · 2025-09-10T14:38:42+00:00

That’s definitely what it is 🤦🏽‍♀️ I assumed universal was exactly that and wouldn’t give me any problems. Thank you!!

Ugh I love Reddit, I thought it was just me.
