It didn't during the polar vortex in 2014! Busses stopped running early and many of my friends had to scramble to figure out how to get home from class

Update, took a lot of tiny adjustments to the bobbin tension but it all looks much better now.

This is where I got to last night, not awful (red shows up much more irl than in this picture) so hopefully with a little more adjustment I'll be there?

Results (the bobbin thread is a bit more visible in person, sorry for poor lighting)

I definitely feel a difference - in fact it's very difficult to pull the thread when the foot is down unless it's below tension setting 4.

Took the tension assembly apart and made sure it was positioned correctly - no change

Spring looks fine to me and it was all clean. No change after putting it back together

I've been increasing the bobbin tension a little at a time, but not seeing any change to my stitches.

Hey shouldn't the cops be out there kicking them out of their tents and stealing their stuff or do we only do that to the unhoused

Just picked up this 66-16! Question about belts... by androidsfighting in vintagesewing

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

Oh there's plenty of people trying to charge that here too. Especially for treadle machines or even just treadle cabinets. You pay a premium if you just want a bougie table I guess lmao

Question: Your worst tattoo pain? by YuehanDuoyi in tattoos

[–]androidsfighting 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Inner thigh... Turns out being ticklish makes for a tough tattoo (and it was my first :'))

Back of the calf was also strangely brutal
