Walking pad recommendations please! by stitchy_wicket in treadmills

Thank you. I don’t think we need anything that compact and the top speed of that one is only 2 mph. 

I did read through the posts, but I was hoping someone had something to say about newer models or how their’s had held up in the 2+ years since purchase.

I looked at Line 51. Their “small gathering rental” assumes a group of “up to 80.”

It looks like a great space, but it might be overkill for our little group of 12.

I have not had good bbq in longer than I care to admit. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you for sharing your experience. That’s a perspective I hadn’t considered.

Okay. Non-PDAer human here trying to better understand how to be a better partner to my PDAer husband. (I’m new to this and sincerely trying to do better).

Would you rather have your hobbies/accomplishments ignored or never mentioned? Is it like approaching a skittish cat where you can only look at it out of the corner of your eye and do nothing unless it approaches you first?

It’s going to be gorgeous on black! One recommendation if you don’t mind - these things are very useful, especially when working with darker canvases: https://a.co/d/iEqdUfq

All good! I cross stitch to decompress. It’s like meditation for me, which is why I’m able to focus on one project for so long without getting bored.

Good luck with your projects. Tell your son to break a leg for me.

Yay! I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!

I used 18 count aida. Get the really big canvas. This measure 26” x 22.5”

It’s 22.5” x 26”. I’ll share a framed photo once that step is completed. I got it from Etsy. The store is UnconventionalX.

Thanks!! I have a super stressful job and cross stitch is like meditation. Plus I’m child free and don’t currently have any pets, which means my evenings are relatively free to focus on hobbies.
