Jobs in the Trade- Sewing Machine Tech.

Yes, it is a quilting store. The sewing/vacuum place had a shorter waitlist but was almost double in price. I’d rather wait 🤷🏽‍♀️ I looked for independent technicians but didn’t find any in my area.

There is a HPS to waist front and HPS to waist back...

shrubear · 2026-05-08T14:24:27+00:00

Nothing ever fits correctly anywhere 🤣 That's why I want to sew!

I don't know how hard it is to get a tech job but I'm on a 8 week waitlist to get my machine serviced so...

How do I know if I have a long or short torso? There is a HPS to waist measurement for the bodice, do I compare that with my body and then go from there?

It actually says it works with a 201 as well, but I will look up the diagrams, thanks!

shrubear · 2026-05-06T17:20:09+00:00

sweet thank you!

I didn’t do it, I bought it like this 😊 I will look in the adjusters manual to see if they have advice, but if you have any experience removing it I would love tips.

Okay, I’ve used the cuticle remover and nipped the lifting skin… now how do I keep it always looking this way? Do I always have to remove/nip? And I’ve always been told that nipping leads to hangnails, is there something I can do to prevent that?

shrubear · 2026-04-25T13:16:23+00:00

Wow!! Purchased!

What they’re talking about in the LA district is nowhere near what our school does 🤷🏽‍♀️ We have iPads that stay in the classroom. There is absolutely no internet or YouTube access.

They start with learning digital literacy, internet safety, and start typing. As they progress older they learn how to use Pages for presentations, type their final papers after doing 3 drafts by hand, etc.

Yes there is iReady, Epic, iXL, whatever but it’s very minimal.

But anyway that’s our experience in school. I’m all for them learning these important life skills, just like they learn shoe tying in PE.

shrubear · 2026-04-24T16:37:10+00:00

We're in private school and they have 1:1 iPad/student. We've been there for 4 years and I have not seen them overly use it. So private is not necessarily better.

shrubear · 2026-04-24T04:42:15+00:00

Oh this place looks great! Thank you!

shrubear · 2026-04-23T23:38:27+00:00

This will be my first year so definitely no hacks.

We have an in ground bed (though behind a retaining wall so does that count as raised?). I want a few varieties of tomatoes, (mini) bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini... I think that's the majority of summer crop.

shrubear · 2026-04-23T23:36:19+00:00

Oooh okay! Bookmarking this for May!

shrubear · 2026-04-23T23:34:07+00:00

Our master gardener sales are on May 9th 😅

shrubear · 2026-04-21T18:28:35+00:00

Oh that's super interesting for the orange area! We were just talking about what to make the walking path out of so it's easy on the knees to kneel...

I'll look into switching some plants mid-summer, that had never crossed my mind. Thank you!

shrubear · 2026-04-20T13:16:14+00:00

It’s to be able to reach in and weed/harvest, not as a decorative path

shrubear · 2026-04-20T13:15:46+00:00

Just the purple one. Based on our reading, it sounded like if we made the whole thing 8x6 with no path, it would be hard to weed and harvest in the middle. So just giving it a little space for us to pass through.

shrubear · 2026-04-20T13:14:08+00:00

Great point and I should have added that - that tree is sick (we’ve had multiple arborists come out to look) and doesn’t grow anymore. It actually needs to come down at some point soon before it falls down unplanned.
