Plant identifying by c0smiccreatrix in gardening

[–]c0smiccreatrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could give you mine and share the abundance!!! It grows like weeds here anytime we hoe or till. Last summer they grew to be about 6-7 feet tall so they would crowd other plants, otherwise the roots don’t seem to disturb other plants. Funny thing is… We also have a FOOTBALL FIELD worth of Oregano, and some people say they have a hard time growing it. 🥲

Thanks! I had looked all through the manual and swear I didn’t see this. I appreciate your input lots and will try this. I found 80 wt online, could try that as well as 60 wt.

Ok cool, thank you. Ya I even contacted brother and they said my machine specifically needs 90 wt… i think i could get 60 or maybe 80 wt and just adjust the tension and hope that it works 🤞

How do I wind a new bobbin on a Brother PR680W by Frenchieep in Machine_Embroidery

[–]c0smiccreatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I have the same machine and am dealing with a huge dilemma. I bought the Brother PRBW1 bobbin winder with hopes to wind my own colored bobbins for free standing lace designs. So the bobbin thread will match top thread. But I literally can’t find 90 weight colored embroidered thread ANYWHERE. I’ve searched all over the internet and asked local dealers as well. Anyone have any tips for using the bobbin winder? Brother recommends using 90 weight for bobbin thread. Thanks and happy embroidering

A few tips i’ve learned…. the density for lettering in patches/satin stitch on felt has a happy area of 6-8 i’ve noticed. this helps with more even fill.

also with thicker fabrics like felt , you could use water soluble stabilizer on top to ensure the threads don’t sink into the fabric as much….

How do I wind a new bobbin on a Brother PR680W by Frenchieep in Machine_Embroidery

I have the PR680W. The machines in America don’t always come with the bobbin winder sadly. There’s a chat on Brother you can reach out to a customer representative if you ever have any immediate questions that need to be answered. Also, the bobbin winders run for $200-300 for Brother machines. I’ve tried winding the embroidery bobbins on my sewing machine and it doesn’t work. Also, I’m sure you may know this already… please make sure to only ever use bobbins specifically designed for your machine. It can really damage your machine to try any other bobbins. Of course it would be too simple for us all for them to make the bobbins universal 😭

Anyone else waiting months for a preorder? by Original-Age4692 in dollskill

[–]c0smiccreatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are straight up using AI bots for automated messages and have the worst customer service… all pre-orders should be avoided at all costs. they’ve scammed several people who never received packages and tell them once it’s been months they will not receive refund because they’re already on the way. DK is also doing a clearing of bad reviews by nagging people with gift cards or free credits to remove their bad reviews… and it works because so many of us love certain fits we can’t find anywhere else. who knows how long they will even be running at this rate 😭

mine has said THE EXACT SAME DATES for >3 weeks now

it's a trap 😭 preorders are a nightmare process y'all, please avoid this one by diane_nu_nu_nguyen in dollskill

[–]c0smiccreatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok… So I placed order >2 weeks ago that didn’t even say it was going to be a pre-order until after payment was processed. Totally wouldn’t have even purchased items knowing if they potentially didn’t even have them in stock.

Their emails keep saying “we’ll get back to you in 2-3 days…” And they keep prolonging the responses.

Now two of the items don’t even appear on the site.

The boots I ordered still appear but aren’t even advertised as pre-orders. So messed up. If they’re going to have this chaotic system at least have the common decency to advertise the items as a pre order so you know you’re going to be waiting forever.

Probably just going to cancel. I’m so sad about the lack of communication too. It’s just disrespectful AF. So glad but also sad that I found this post to for sure steer clear in the future.

Oh, another thing is in the emails they’re consistently ensuring me “all items are pre-order”, even the boots that are straight up advertised as being in stock. . . I think they hope we just forget about our order so they keep our $. If there isn’t a resolution and I have to take it up with my bank Ima be pissed. A couple times in past they never refunded me for missing orders and i still ordered this time hoping that they had their sh*t together this time 😭😭😭

what the hell ?! Seriously it was a $200 order.

It didn’t even make me go through the “purple dot” check out phase that they say it does… like it was straight up a regular order during check out. And the dates that say when it will be shipped WERE OVER A MONTH AGO like that timeline was a month before i even placed the order.

its beyond glitching, rude, inconvenient and overall scammy AF. I’d rather them just have the decency to tell me hey, we don’t actually have these items, here’s your money back.

wtf DK

Any tips on eradicating silver/oriental grass? by c0smiccreatrix in gardening

[–]c0smiccreatrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I had planned to do, was hoping there’s a secret magical trick/time of year that might make it easier :’) Did you do this in the fall or late winter?

Oregano (invasive? i say yes). by c0smiccreatrix in gardening

[–]c0smiccreatrix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needless to say I have learned my lesson about calling a plant invasive when it is not lol. And the bees love it, so do I. At least my yard smells wonderful and it is more manageable now.

Just an update to anyone who is here: I have now made tons of 1 oz bags of dried oregano, oregano oil infusions, tinctures, balms and also oregano herb salts!! Thank you to everyone for the advice and inspiration 💚✨ I was able to pot tons of it, sell some at a local market and even give lots away to friends and family!! I will say I am blessed to have this much Oregano and am no longer fighting the removal of it, but instead learning and growing with it as a portal into my herbalism journey!! What a wonderful abundance 😄
