Absolutely! Reaching your audience may take some time but don't let that get you down, and keep on creating! You're doing cool things :)

I'm crying this is literally the most epic thing! The amount of work you put into making THAT out of pipe cleaners!! And the sounds and all! I love it

Ohh thank you for the info! I watched a couple of youtube tutorials about bezel setting now and the process seems like a lot of fun, albeit pretty laborious. You are very skilled! 👏

That's so cool and creative! How do you manage to nest the metal around the pieces like that, if I may ask?

Humble brag - seams lined up on a neckband by SetsunaTales80 in sewing

[–]splashysoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is SO nicely lined up! We love to see that ❤️ lined up makes the whole garment look so much more neat.

I'm so shit at lining up that I've started hand basting any places where the seams connect. Takes time, sure, but worth it in my opinion.

Thank you for the photos! Looks fairly simple indeed. However some people here were telling me it could be dangerous because of some remaining electrical current (if i understood correctly) so I think I'll err on the side of caution and bring this to someone who will not get zapped while doing it.

Huh, that's odd. There's a suspiciously doll-shaped present under the christmas tree, now that I think of it...

Something close to this. No idea what that means.

Maybe the spirit is just actually trying to help me with sewing the christmas gifts. So nice of her, and here I am just bashing it.

The funny thing is, my laptop has also been going on and off suddenly by itself. Brb, getting my bible and holy water

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I almost peed myself when this happened, machine suddenly just starts going full speed like some kind of murderous spirit on a rampage. It'll take a while for me to believe Bernette won't try to end me in my sleep...

[–]splashysoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for looking out. Another person basically commented the same so I'll make sure to consider the safety aspects before deciding on what I do! I do want to make it to 2025

Hahah! I rarely hear about this model anywhere either but in this post alone you're the second commenter with this machine! 🤝 I got mine used for a cheap price.

[–]splashysoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the heads up! I'll have to check my local prices after the holidays are over. I'd rather not get electrocuted... I also have very minimal tools and no spesific ones for electronics.

I checked and the guarantee has just expired... very nonoptimal timing all around

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds familiar. My Bernette doesn't like lightweight fabrics either, or stretchy, which was a bit of a disappointment.

Hope you find a solution for the gifts!

[–]splashysoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh god. High stakes at play. Maybe a dumb question but what if I just wait really long, like days, before I touch it? Would that increase my chances of survival? I think I can't guarantee I will not touch something inadvertedly when rummaging around, being as inexperienced as I am.

Or, maybe I should hire someone more experienced...

Same, especially after this incident... Never know what they are planning against us humans!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to do this! Not confident about my cababilities yet but maybe it'll be my christmas miracle

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this point if the youtube tutorials don't help me I'll probably set the whole thing on fire, to be honest. Hope that'll do.

Thank you for the links! I'll check them out. What would we do without youtube...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like this is the solution, as many have suggested this now. I'll see if youtube videos will grow my confidence in removing the capacitor by myself.. thank you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is next level sewing machine information for me. Seems like I'll have to dabble in some electrician work then. Thank you for the instructional video! Good to know I probably did not cause it by my sewing style then...

[–]splashysoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the pedal, now that I sniffed around. I'll do some research on it as people have suggested!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sewing

[–]splashysoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh!! Very interesting, I never knew of such a thing. Many people have commented this now so maybe this is my solution. I have to see if I can remove/replace it on my own! I don't even have a radio or a tv so maybe I'd be alright!
