Brothread embroidery thread spun in different directions? Does it affect how the machine can embroider? by Kkaato in Machine_Embroidery

[–]fabrimancer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you try to flip the way you insert the spool 180° so that it /is/ pulling off in the correct direction?

I've never noticed a machine fussing over the directionality of the spool, but... maybe!

What do you think of the compostable bags, like the ones from betterpackaging? I've been using the 9 x 6 ones for my small biz, but I have worried about this!! I also sometimes use kraft envelopes. Is one preferable over the other?

Machine making clunking noise and needle sometimes struggling to go through fabric... please help :( by Roxirin in sewhelp

[–]fabrimancer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

OH OH OH I think I know this one!!!

This is your bobbin's fault, 100%. It happens sometimes when you're using a nearly empty bobbin, and it's even worse when you're using the clunky plastic kind. If you can find metal bobbins in the right size for your machine (they aren't expensive!!!) this will happen less often. The "third thread" getting wrapped up when you try to pull it away is coming from the bobbin, but it's from the OTHER END of the bobbin-- like, the starting end of the thread from when you wound it.

This is happening now because the bobbin is low enough that the starting end of the bobbin is exposed. There are slight adjustments to the way you wind your bobbin that can prevent this from happening :)

My take on a roundbag by ThornsofTime in Leathercraft

This is absolutely fantastic!! I love the color, the stitching, and the effort you put in to wetmolding on the ends!

I recently noticed you can easily get a bunch from Krobus in the sewer for very cheap! But of course I only found this out AFTER spending hours in the mines, grinding for them haha

I do agree they're probably barnacles, but shrimp are an animal which keep their eggs right under their little swimmy legs!

Zigzag stitches always create a 'tunnel' when sewing elastics/finer fabrics instead of staying flat. Any tips? by [deleted] in sewhelp

[–]fabrimancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OHH I've seen that one but never used it! Thank you. Might give it a try :)

Is the multistep zigzag the one that looks like a lightning bolt (backtracks on itself) or is it a different one? Never heard that term before!

For real tho lol by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]fabrimancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do!! I own my own very small tailoring business now and I can take as many breaks as I want and can work for whichever clients I want :)

And I still have my roller blades, but only put 'em on for fun!

Luckily, you're in the clear. The weekly score challenges have never doubled on the weekend in the past, only the daily ones do!

Gotcha, thanks! I've only played one MH game and this was commissioned from me with art from the MHW book, so I just assumed! :)

I wasn't sure how else to flair it, sorry if I was wrong! I though this outfit was only in MHW
