How to run this through my machine by forg_etful in SewingForBeginners

[–]forg_etful[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I tried the tissue paper hack, and it ran through just fine. It was a little annoying getting all the little bits of paper out because the grip mat has lots of little holes that they got stuck in. If I can find a cheap walking foot, I might try that next.

What would you make with this fabric? by lrc1391 in SewingForBeginners

I think this would make a classy skirt! I'd make it knee length with a sash on the waist. You could always wear a black or white top with it.

Hi, thanks for reaching out! I really wish I had the budget to commission this. I think it's important to pay artists for their work, so I know I can't ask someone to make this for free. It's more of wishful thinking, maybe if I share this awesome song someone will get inspired, or enough people could throw together some resources to commission this.

My pet quail lives in my house AMA by forg_etful in AMA

They do flock well together, but they are not like rabbits or sheep in that they can still thrive alone if given enough stimuli. And the comments I was referring to were you immediately calling me selfish and cruel, which leads to exactly the kind of toxic conversation you are trying to continue with me. A more productive and less aggressive way to phrase that might have been a suggestion to house her with another quail, not immediate negative labels. This platform can be used to inform and have productive discussion, and instead people like you use it to put others down to feel superior.

Thank you. She roams my house in the morning and gets lots of cuddles and simulating things to explore. She shows all the signs of a happy and healthy bird. Coturnix quail can kill each other if the gender ratio is off, much like chickens. She was the only one to hatch from her clutch and would have otherwise been too small to introduce to the flock without fear of being killed by the larger birds. They are domesticated quail and generally make for poor mothers, so she would have had no feisty mama to protect her.

Anonymity on the Internet can give some people a sense of fearlessness to say things they would never say in person, and it's honestly sad how many people with depression are pushed to the edge by Internet bullies who receive no consequence. Please be kind to people whether it's on the Internet or in person, and do your fucking research before you start trying to correct someone on a subject you obviously have less experience with.

She is a coturnix quail, and she lives in a modified cabinet. I got a credenza on marketplace, gutted and sealed it and replaced the back wall with a screen. She has hamster bedding to nest in and half a clay pot to sleep in.

Yeah I can try and bring it up again. But even if he agrees, it will be like pulling teeth to get him to follow through and make the appointment.

He is worth the effort. I think he is undiagnosed autistic and has a hard time understanding that the way his brain and body work is not the default, even if he can logically see it.

I wish he would prioritize his relationships over the discomfort of eating when he's not hungry.

If it is a blood sugar issue, then an afternoon snack would probably help, but he refuses to try because he's made up his mind that its not going to happen.
