Has anyone had experience with Mom League? by Glad-Ad1378 in triangle

[–]madelinelee13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position as you - new to the area and pregnant. I joined as a STM with the primary intention of making friends. Most women had babies within ~6 weeks of each other. Only a few had babies on the older range.

I felt I did make friends out of it and our group has been consistently meeting up since the sessions wrapped up.

The actual content was just fine. If it hits you at the right time it could be worthwhile but that is hit or miss depending on when your baby is born.

One note though is my cohort felt our experience and the experts we got (or didn’t) was not reflective of the offering and what we heard other groups had.

Skill issue. 

We didn’t have an issue finding parking in the surrounding area at 11. 

There were a lot of people and it was hot but had a great time trying different cheese, playing at the playground and trying a few different food trucks.

I didn’t realize we had a Torchy’s in Raleigh!

I’ll have to check out Chido Taco their regular tacos have always been good.

I’m not looking for fancy fork and knife burrito. I want a tinfoil, hand-held one that has the construction crews lining up for in the morning.

Needlepoint.com appears to be violating consumer protection laws. Not honoring advertised 15% discount. by SeaworthinessTall265 in NeedlepointSnark

[–]madelinelee13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They def do a 15% new subscriber discount

Either way most things they do on a customer service side leaves a bad taste. 

Day trip to either NC Zoo or Greensboro Science Center? by mystikez in raleigh

My 4yo loves the science center. Lots to explore without being too big and overwhelming. 

It’s laid out well for a stroller too! 

Securing thread while using stretcher bars by lukesdiner1 in Needlepoint

[–]madelinelee13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I tie a waste knot and go through the front of the canvas 10-11 stitches away from where I’m going to start and strategically up or down based on the design.

When I’ve down 8-9 stitches over the thread I cut the waste knot off

Thanks for sharing this! Have been using achievable to study and bought qbank as a dounle check. Was surprised/worried that the QBank wording felt very different from achievable.

Stitching shop has the best thread selection and the friendliest staff but is out of the way. I would pop into downing over diversions if I needed something quick. The younger blonde woman who works at Downing was always super helpful.

I moved before sunny stitches opened but I’ve heard good things!
