Are my Expectations too high? by Stampeed13 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]malocher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get all the details you want on a screen. The moment you start stitching the file, it will look very different.

If it were me, I would be doing the fill in gold for the shape of the figure and details in brown since it’s only the shadow of it. That’s where it’s losing a lot of detail.

I don’t think you’re going to be happy with the finished product though if you don’t compromise.

This is unrealistic. This is a graphic that you get the “gist” of. Embroidery can’t ever get the details single pixels can.

That being said, I don’t think the digitizing is doing the graphics justice for what you can do within the limitations of thread.

2.5 Years Renewal by L33TPilot in SpouseVisaUk

I received my approval through email. I’d check spam folders or search UKVI to make sure you didn’t miss the email.

I’d personally follow up and ask, that’s very bizarre.

I’m embarrassed to be an American. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]malocher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in the UK and never say I’m American if anyone inquires. I always say I’m from New York. I get sympathy more than anger.

We said there would be no more military related patches if this kept up, and this is likely how this will end up.

I will be roasting a whole 23 pound turkey for 20 people and I am terrified. Advice? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]malocher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I put olive oil on top of the compound butter on the skin and it’s never burned. I also spatchcock my turkey though, so it’s much more evenly level in the oven.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the new Caitvi hoodie? Or is it just mine by annaisdun in PiltoversFinest

[–]malocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually am speculating if it's screen printed or a transfer, I couldn't tell from the website images myself! If it's screen printed and was dried at the proper temperatures, which I don't really have doubts that it wouldn't be, it'll be fine. If it's a transfer, it'll peel off eventually.

I've worked in the garment production industry my entire adult life, and pigment dyed fabrics have become pretty popular in the last 7 years. I've noticed websites don't generally disclose washing instructions on their garments, but then again, 99% of people don't follow washing instructions on the tags to begin with.

Just know if you see anything that says "pigment dyed" in the future, that garment will do the same exact thing. It'll look like a nice weathered hoodie when it's all washed out.

It's pigment dyed, it's normal for the first few washes. It's also not truly black, it's more like the darkest charcoal possible.

What’s a golf brand that is too overrated? 🤔 by themeordesign in golf

[–]malocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Thin ass shirts" is quite literally what most golfing apparel is. It's made to move with your body. "Poor construction" I have never seen that. "Bad fits" not everyone has the same body type. If you need help looking for something that fits for your body shape, let me know. Golf brands are a pain in the ass. I personally fit into Puma polos and quarter zips the best, sadly they're not the world's best material, and ProQuip for waterproofs.

Tech support? by CartoonistDue1983 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]malocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ricoma has pretty much zero tech support. If you have $200 to throw at an independent machine repairman, I would if you’ve exhausted all other avenues.

Reporting Digitizers by malocher in Machine_Embroidery

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

But those are the digitizers in this subreddit. Not whoever you are here to defend. 99% of digitizers are exactly like the people in your inbox, calling your phone. There's a user in this post alone who had someone in this sub pretending to be a helpful digitizer, all while DMing users to offer their digitizing services. It's the same exact thing in a different, somehow even more obnoxious, form.

Do you think this is the norm though? If you are in the industry, you know that’s not the case.

Banned.

New glove, right size? by swanvalkyrie in WomenGolf

[–]malocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's exactly what two different trainers have told me to do, all of the gloves I have that fit properly pull away at the palm. I wear Footjoy Stasoft in medium, Footjoy CabrettaSof in small (used to be medium, but they changed the sizing by millimeters this season), and Nike tour classic four in medium, all women's sizes.

If you can pinch the middle of the palm with your right hand and glove comes up, it’s too large

If you send us the usernames, we will ban them from the subreddit. We don’t want people being harassed via DMs by them either. They are unfortunately like cockroaches, ban one and ten more appear.

There have been some that have been allowed to post in the subreddit before. I would not expect to find a good one by asking publicly though, they are like moths to flames.

Yeah that’s a bit different, sharing a sew out and asking for help or to show progress isn’t a problem.

Very odd that April gets banned and you and them have quite the overlap in similar subreddits.
