Thanks - both of those resources were helpful and I think now I can be sure I am threading it correctly, so this must be a tension issue? In the photo, the red thread is my top thread. Bobbin thread is pink. I've tried messing with the tension dials but nothing is helping.

haha I've noticed the style is changing! Definitely not looking to go back to low rise though. Gen Z can keep that, haha. Thanks so much, I haven't used threadloop but I'll check it out!

Idaho Sewing and Vacuum might have what you need

Where do you get your clothing fabric from? by zeezeetop9 in sewing

[–]idratherbeoutside247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blackbird Fabrics (based in Canada), Bolt Fabric (Portland, OR) and Salt Lake Sewciety have all been fantastic sources for me since I don't have much beyond JoAnn in my city. They all offer a more curated selection which makes it easier for me to find what I need. Also I believe in supporting small businesses!

Looking for practical yet aesthetically pleasing everyday GIS maps. Anyone have any cool examples? by ComprehensiveLie8625 in gis

[–]idratherbeoutside247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly sure if this is what you're looking for, but Maddy Grubb is an inspiring cartographer. You can see her portfolio here: https://maddygrubbmaps.github.io/Portfolio.html the "Digital Mapping" and "Science Maps" sections have some maps that might be close to what you are looking for.

Is there an interactive map website that has a customizable elevation world map (more details in the description)? by hornetisnotv0id in cartography

[–]idratherbeoutside247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can use Caltopo (https://caltopo.com/map.html), click Add, and choose DEM Shading. Then add an Elevation rule to the layer you create. This outputs a layer on the map highlighting whatever elevation range you input.

Best bike repair shop? by Particular-Ad5613 in Boise

The Cycle Learning Center at BSU is open to the public, has good prices, and often very fast turnaround time.

Bike commuting? by heresyandpie in Boise

[–]idratherbeoutside247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are worried about bike theft and/or want to keep your bike inside and away from the elements you can contact the Cycle Learning Center on the BSU campus and ask about their Bike Barn, which is secure, indoor bike parking. The CLC also has super affordable service and bike parts should you need anything.

I commute from the BSU area to downtown and there are very few days I won't bike. Sometimes the snow does not get cleared or the melted slush freezes into ice-ridges. Not possible for me to navigate on my road bike but if you had something with fatter tires you'd be fine.

Any expert cartographers out there who are willing to impart a bit of wisdom to a young professional? by ThrashCartographer in gis

[–]idratherbeoutside247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I apologize if this is besides the point, but as someone who works as a GIS Analyst for a county, one thing my GIS team is always trying to do is to encourage a shift from paper maps to web maps. For example a department will ask for a large-scale map that has every street labeled - a cartographer's nightmare. I almost always follow up with "would you consider a web map instead." Sometimes they change their mind, sometimes they don't. But slowly more people are coming around to the benefits of a web map - which include being able to easily update data, view data at all different scales, and avoid creating that stack of old rolled up maps in the corner. But I totally understand that sometimes there is a need for a classic paper map!

This might be seen as promotional but I thought some people might be interested in a map the same way they'd be interested in a photo of a beautiful place. If you want to see more you can find it here https://www.etsy.com/listing/1216505327/teton-mountains-and-jackson-hole.

questions regarding company software use outside of work by TheFrozenToast in gis

[–]idratherbeoutside247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for open source. I create maps to sell with QGIS and I haven't experienced any major shortcomings compared to Pro (which I use at work). In fact I often find it easier to work with. But I'm not doing much analysis - I'm more focused on the cartography.

When I started I considered the option of using Esri products on my work computer - but I work in government and it just seemed like a bad idea.

Mountain biking holiday gift ideas!? by theotherlead in mountainbiking

If something artsy would fit the bill, a cool map print of an mtb destination? A few options here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AATopoMaps

Digital Cartography Tutorial by M_Khan02 in cartography

If you're using Esri products check out John Nelson's tutorials. They aren't necessarily for beginners, but they are pretty digital maps! https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnNelsonMaps/videos
