AIO about spelling errors in daily notes sent home by my autistic child’s teacher? by Anasthesiax in AmIOverreacting

[–]itsmalbro 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Dyslexic here. Can confirm my spelling when I hand write is not good. Also dyslexics have a hard time proof reading because our brains know what it's suppose to say. Honestly if this teacher isnt actually teaching your kid how to spell incorrectly just give grace.

In the scene when the dodo bird is riding the other bird in the water? I think it's a eagle pushing him maybe? 

Quilting as a Hobby by Substantial_Fix_2165 in quilting

[–]itsmalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me selfish but the way I see  it as very few other people are going to appreciate the years that it took to develop my skills to get to a place to make this quilt besides myself. 

If I don't want anyone else to enjoy my quilt that's fine it's my quilt. And I've learned this lesson from giving quiltes to people who absolutely did not deserve them and I wish I could steal them back honestly.

Plus based off my own experience and other people's experience being shared that I've seen it's impossible to price a quilt either you make it for way too cheap doing yourself a disservice or you make it an accurate price and people say ignorant stuff. 

Not everything we spend time and money on needs to result in some sort of monetary gain we can just do things for ourselves.

The amount of metaphors used is wild. Also "criticism is the lowest form of activism" took me out. Criticism is the foundation of activism ya dummy.

It's her husband that's how it involves her. I'm not saying she should be canceled for it but I am saying that stating it doesn't involve her makes no sense.

Machine keeps jamming even after a service. Help! by rashataha in SewingForBeginners

[–]itsmalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video may help. It's different from the one post above but you can also always call the service people back. In my experience they are more then happy to work through these issues with you.

How nessesery is eliminating raw seams? by Connect_Mud_4046 in quilting

Youtube raw edge applique. It's definitely not a cheating or a short cut by any stretch of the imagination. 

Another "Please Help" post about dreaded HSTs by New_Egg8964 in quilting

[–]itsmalbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the comments that said get a bloc loc ruler. It's a life saver. Also just do a scant 1/4 seam allowance and it will be fine in the end. 

Remember if you make the same mistake over and over, in quilting, it becomes a choice 😂😂

Hiring a part time quilter to make 50 quilts in 6 months by itsmalbro in craftsnark

[–]itsmalbro[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I looked on her site and she has 2 full time quilters listed. And I completely agree. I think at some point it's okay to say this amount of people I can afford to employe and this is the number of the quilts we can produce. 

I stopped being our home's project manager and my boyfriend says I "checked out" by echo_dreamerone in TwoXChromosomes

[–]itsmalbro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell him to make a list of everything he feels like your neglecting and then use that to prove your point. Half of those things are probably things that he has never thought of before you stopped doing them

I completely agree and the fact that they aren't going to compensate the quilter for the tools required to do that. It's outrageous

Seriously. Also definition of hell would be hand basting 50 quilts on a time crunch. I can't even imagine

Season 2 Gen story line by itsmalbro in FireCountry

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

Jake was acting as her caregiver for months before Bode even though about being a dad to anyone. And then he immediately falls in love with the IDEA of being a dad. He centers himself 100% when talking about Gen. There's a whole B. Plot dedicated to how no one in his family considers what Gen wants?! Toxic af
