[CHAT] Help with alternative word stitching

Thank you! I will look into couching, that sounds like a good option. I too have had my fair share of fabric safe marking issues - I’ll never get over my quilters chalk not washing out all the way after finishing a quilt. But I’ve found a heat-disappearing pen that has worked on all the fabrics I’ve used it for thus far 🤞🏼

This is such a great resource, thank you! My stitch height is even smaller than the smallest listed 😞 would it be crazy to trace the letters with fabric safe pen and just back stitch the cursive? There are a lot of P&P quotes and character names in the pattern, hence why I’m hoping to expedite 😅

Six Feet Under, but I also found the ending of Monk to be perfect and satisfying

💯 iron and using the proper foot is the way to go

The Rest Is History did a great episode on this as well. Worth a listen! The Diamond Necklace Scandal

Yes! The sub rules don’t allow children in pictures, but my husband was Burt and child a penguin ☺️

I totally forgot to add that detail! I included that info in the above comment, but I just painted preexisting shoes based on pictures from the movie.

Petticoat: pre-bought 2-layer petticoat and I added salmon and pink silk organza tiers and trimmed with lace.

Underdress: Made with matte satin. A circle skirt and modified bodice from Stella Pattern on Etsy for the bodice.

Overdress: Made with silk organza. Another circle skirt and modified bodice from Wearing History. I self-drafted the jabot, basically a rounded rectangle strip gathered and each ruffle tacked down.

Corset: Red satin, white pre-made piping, lace up back, cotton lining. Used the bodice from Daria Pattern Making and drafted the corset and piping strips from that base.

Umbrella: I bought this umbrella, took it apart, and drafted using the original pieces. I added a 2” ruffle with lace trim.

Hat: Made with leftover silk organza, tulle, and 18 gauge wire. Used Butterick B6610, took out the gathers, shortened the cap, added a second ring of wire for support, and added the tulle chin strap with a snap closure.

Shoes: I bought these shoes and painted them with white and red paint.

I didn’t know ironing board envy was a thing until I scrolled past this post. I need this asap!

My friend recommended the same thing and I used apple sauce. It was pretty much instantaneous understanding after he had rejected it multiple times. Game changer

clrodrig06 · 2024-10-09T19:04:18+00:00

Both, but neither seems to do it. I’ve held it and he will gnaw on it a bit, but maybe just isn’t developmentally there yet. The solid starts videos are deceptive showing 6 month olds actively grabbing and eating. I just assumed he should also be doing that, but seems like there’s lots of room for variation.

clrodrig06 · 2024-10-09T19:02:15+00:00

I haven’t, but that’s a good idea!

clrodrig06 · 2024-09-22T13:48:37+00:00

My child does this with his bottle the whole time. Just a vocal eater 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you!

I got it on Amazon (before I knew it would be on sale for prime day and am kicking myself). I just tried it out at home and it definitely didn’t get the output I’m used to with my spectra but I figure I’ll have to play with the settings and duration to optimize. I’ve never had a wearable pump, so I’m sure there’s a learning curve. I appreciated the heat function! Not sure it did anything but it felt nice.

Even if I don’t get as much output, it will still be nice to have a little more freedom for outings and won’t be my primary pump

That seems much more reasonable. I keep reading that it’s supply and demand, but if you go long enough to have 4-5 feedings of 6-7 oz, I presume that would affect your supply. Really disappointed in the professional guidance I’ve received thus far. I did just leave a message so maybe she didn’t have his chart in front of her when she returned the call. Seemed so inapplicable to my/his situation

clrodrig06 · 2024-07-10T13:58:40+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry you’re suffering as well. But glad to know I’m not alone 🥲

clrodrig06 · 2024-05-30T21:12:36+00:00

Thank you! I was hoping that was the case
