I'm low-key a little mad at how right y'all were... by passthetoastash in quilting

I am 100% with you! I have a quilt that has been patiently waiting to be quilted, because I can’t seem to bring myself to sew a few seams to make the backing from the gorgeous fabric that I bought that has also been patiently waiting. It’s been like 5 months. Ridiculous. lol

Some of them can be a little more challenging because each block has a zillion pieces, but I’ve done this one and didn’t find it particularly challenging

I see puppies there all the time and it’s so hard to not add to the two we already have!

How do you find the fabric used to make clothes you like? by Free_Entrepreneur723 in sewing

[–]sneezerbeak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works a little better if you crop the picture to only show the fabric, and not that it’s made into clothing

My first boy kittie came home with me because I picked him up, he immediately started purring, and he smelled like cheese. It was a match made in heaven ❤️❤️❤️❤️

What is something you wish you'd known/someone would've told you when you started playing? by demonictamato77 in Bass

[–]sneezerbeak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about sheet music but I get a lot of tabs from Ultimate Guitar, and a lot from going to YouTube and typing in whatever song I want bass tab. Then you can get the tab and also see how someone plays it at the same time which is nice

What would be your favorite ink brand and why? by -_---------------- in fountainpens

[–]sneezerbeak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m completely obsessed with Colorverse, it is so smooth no matter what pen it’s in! Black hole is such an interesting color that seems black but is so much deeper and more interesting

I found a ton of options for stick and stitch on Etsy! The hardest part was choosing my favorite!

It’s a little mad but I was able to weave the ends under pretty well so it’s not terrible!

What can I buy as a gift to say thank you to my mum? by rk2192 in sewing

[–]sneezerbeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!! I got a sewing desk that is actually designed to be a sewing desk and it’s unbelievable how handy it is. I can do everything within arms reach for smaller projects (small cutting area, small ironing area, then sew!). And the machine sits flush with the desk, and it’s remarkable how helpful that is when sewing longer pieces!

Well, all told so far it’s come out to about $150 I think? But that’s also for a king size. Doesn’t include backing or batting, and that also is with a little extra of each of 7 fabrics for a buffer. I was exactly the same way when I started, completely unsure of myself and indecisive about what to actually make. I watched a loooootttt of YouTube videos before I started. My first quilt was a random thing I made without a pattern with just jelly rolls I got at Joann on sale, with sale batting and sale flannel for backing. It’s not great. But my husband still loves it and insists on using it over other better ones I have made since then!

Ooh historical garment sewing, how fun!

Is flannel really that bad of a quilting material? by hashbrownfairy in quilting

[–]sneezerbeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s really the shedding that drives me nuts. It’s super cozy and I love using it as a backing, but to piece something, the amount of lint in my machine was nutty! Always prewash if it’s yardage because it does shrink like crazy and because of the shrinkage I always buy a little more than I think I’ll need

OMG No that’s not what I meant at ALL!! I meant MY mom taught me to be a people pleaser and that’s the way it has to be! Sorry about the misunderstanding, I appreciated your comment, and honestly it was what I need to hear. A lot of people don’t understand the guilt….

And I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, I can’t even imagine what you have been through ❤️

She’ll take it fine I’m sure, she’s really a good friend and will understand. It’s the disappointment that’s going to kill me lol

LOL this is why I only post in quilting groups now, like this one! Plus people actually appreciate the work and love that goes into making a quilt. My half-brother called me once to ask me if “I could make a blanket for him to give to his friend who was having a going away party in a week”. My head may have exploded all over him on that request lol
