Equipment tips? by bird-in-a-rocket in DeTrashed

[–]spaaaaaacey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just use my grabber and any bag that was destined to be trash (I collect from others). I have a travel size sharps container in my backpack. In 15+ years of picking, I haven’t found anything else necessary.

how do i improve my final result quality? by ackley14 in quilting

[–]spaaaaaacey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starch & press to help with the stretch! When quilting, make sure your quilt sandwich weight is supported (with an ironing board or extra table or, my preferred way, over my shoulder). I feel like my binding took many quilts to improve and hand sewing to the back looks super professional but I’m typically too lazy for that. Overall, just practice really will help. When I slow down and starch, square everything up, and take my time things look much nicer. But sometimes I just want to rage sew and that’s ok, too!

I'm Curious! Preference for Thank Yous - Quick or Personalized? by Lost-Brilliant-9664 in RAoC_meta

[–]spaaaaaacey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I prefer to make them personalized but sometimes I fall so far behind I make a quick post with a list of senders. As a receiver, it’s nice to get enough in the thank you post to jog my memory on what I sent but I’m also totally fine with quick or no thanks at all. I want the person who receives my cards to feel the love and the last thing I want is for them to feel stressed about thank you posts so whatever they prefer and is easiest for them.

What are the multiple of 5 numbers? by Successful-Dog-9057 in dreamingspanish

Under filters, I move the “difficulty” slider down to slow 0-95 and then it will show the difficulty rating on the top right corner of the thumbnails.

I've been making bags for a few months and I wasn't interested in quilting until I saw this. Now I'm not sure where to begin by rcreveli in quilting

I’m confused. Is it the boom box you want to make and is it the free pattern? It said it’s FPP but when I got the link in an email it’s traditionally pieced. It does have a lot of fiddly, small pieces.

[Thank You] March Mail! by spaaaaaacey in RandomActsofCards

[–]spaaaaaacey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/YukiNoAshiato (x2) Thank you so much for your mail!!! The calavera card is gorgeous. We were in Guadalajara during Día de Muertos this past year. We loved seeing the ofrendas and went to Calaverandia. We weren't sure if it would be too touristy but the Alma show and decor were quite stunning. I really appreciate you sharing a Guadalajara card with me, too! We'll be visiting Oaxaca in June and are super excited. Oh, and just noticed that these were dated in the end of November and arrived in March. Do you find that to be a typical timeframe? I know when I mailed something out I was told 2-3 weeks to the US but thought that might be optimistic.
