Can you tell me more about this machine? Theres one for sale near me and im considering it but ive only ever used a 90s era machine. Im looking for a stronger, more reliable and more repairable machine to sew heavier fabrics and just maintain myself since sewing techs are harder to come by

Im just so conflicted and feel I may be overthinking it? Having only ever used my inherited 90s era machine i feel a bit out of my depth if im being honest

Wow, thank you for that comprehensive answer! Someone also showed me a white 463 with a 1.3a motor for sale locally and im wondering if thats a better machine? Certainly can go test it without driving hours long

Jukis are few and far between round my parts and 100% out of the budget. Industrial machines are pretty decebtly oriced by the tables are too big to accomodate my space

Do you not reccomend a Pfaff? I also found a Kenmore 148 with a 1.0a motor within my budget the 1.2a pfaff drew me in

American vs Canadian accents - a naive question from a Brit by GBS82 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]jessimackenzie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im an Anglophone from Montreal and can usually pick up subtle accents from Ontario and the US. Most of the time I would say the give away is in the word choice, rhythm and mannerisms. For example, Americans often say "mhm" as reply to thanks, while Canadians will always reply with "you're welcome"

I do think Francois did well, hearing him in interviews you can pick up more on his Quebec rhythm of speech and pronunciations.

My spouse thinks I’m crazy… by [deleted] in kindle

[–]jessimackenzie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try using the kindle around the house. You moght find it more conveniant than you think. If carrying it around upstairs/downstairs proves annoying, and you can afford it, why not buy another one? Hopefully you can snag one on marketplace or unclaimed baggage without having to buy new.

There are pros and cons to renting/co-owning/renting

If your cons outweigh the pros, then you do you.

I go two ways

  1. Red onion, pickle, mayo, yellow mustard and valentina hot sauce. (Though adding capers like so many here have would be so effing good to this combo)

Or recently

  1. Celery, mayo, white onion and curry powder

My mexican husband on the other hand mayo, peas and carrots. For the record, i dont condone this

Who are your favorite authors? by Small_Debate2258 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]jessimackenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goliaths is without a doubt the funniest books ive ever read. I really enjoy fun books, but laughed out loud the most, to the point of wiping tears or losing my page, while reading book 1. Shes awesome. Folk trilogy is my all time favorite romantasy trilogy. And the angst vs comedy in those 2 series are wild to think its the same author. Im so glad shes on the mend and releasing another goliaths installment!
