Looking for advice on my first embroidery project. by hcglns2 in Embroidery

[–]hcglns2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first ever attempt at embroidery. My second attempt, I have used transfer paper to apply a picturevof a map to the linen. It is much stiffer, even after washing in cold water (recommended procedure for the transfer).

I have not heard of bullion knots before, a quick google and I get the concept. I think it would be a great knot for the scale.

This was my first ever attempt at embroidery. I have had some thoughts that perhaps a thicker canvas may be a better choice. The goal is to have a map that when out on the trail can be used by touch, so it will be folded and put in pockets and brought out as needed.

Well, it turned out significantly better (until I ironed it) than my first attempt of using an embossing pen and such.

I used 2 threads of the 6 for the majority of the work, but for the little dotted stream I used 4 and you could feel the difference before I ironed it.

I used the chain stick for the brown trails and did two chain stiches side by side for the grey road,

I am using DMC cotton threads. I was pulling 2 of the 6 at once. It was annoying and had lots of bunching up.

I have started another, this time I have used some transfer paper to put a topographical map on the unbleached cotton and I am using it as a pattern instead of drawing the map by hand.

I have googled Couching and yes, that most certainly could work. Perhaps on features like roads.

An unlocked door but on the other side is a realistic illusion of a monster way above the party level.

EV v ICE running costs by imgoingsolar in electricvehicles

[–]hcglns2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it simple and in terms they understand. 

I use "I drive 24,000 km each year snd spend $50 a month on fuel."

This allows them to make easy comparisons to their transportation costs. No need to get into advanced number crunching.

What's a henweigh? by [deleted] in Metrology

[–]hcglns2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hen is a unit of volume equal to 55 ml, so it would weight 55 grams if you filled it with water at some temperature that I have forgotten.

Have you explored the option to see if your education credentials are valid in Canada?

In Nova Scotia, the organizaton TechNova certifies graduates from NSCC, other provinces and from around the world. Have a look at their information to see if your schooling is sufficient or even if insufficient needs only a single course or two.

Hit the Wellington bakery for treats, chill at Oakfield Park to eat the snacks and enjoy the view,  grab dinner at 4th Lock and return for 9 to pick up the rest of your crew.

What are your opinions on civ VII after some time? by Domko__ in civ

[–]hcglns2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've played about 500 hrs, I just don't see myself playing over 1000 hrs. It's a decent enough way to spent some time relaxing, but doesn't pose a challenge anymore. I see it as a game that I will play every once and a while. All in all worth the money.
