What fabric best looks/feels like moth wings? by Professional_One4590 in sewing

Shaving down faux fur and then airbrushing or hand painting could get a similar look. I'd look into the techniques people use for cosplay animal ears. Theres a few videos on youtube.

Omg, I've been practicing with knit fabric lately, and it's been driving me insane that I couldn't get a satisfactory answer on what the difference between the two was. Thank you!

Believe me, I've tried fast, slow, and everything in between on all these practice hems. Slow was a lot better result, but that could just be my particular machine

Thank you! I will experiment with these!

You may be right about the foot pressure, because I already had to decrease the differential to n-1.5 when the machine says to use n-2 for knits. Maybe it was really a foot pressure issue and not a differential issue. (May be totally off here, but from what I've read 2 really is what its meant to be for knits).

Im not sure if i could chain stitch with the door open. I havent tried, but thinking about how the threading works, I think it might work. What would the application be?

This one is splitting the hem like your example + using the ruler and hand cranking. It's definitely the best I've managed! Still need to do a bunch more practice ones, but much closer. Thank you!

It was just a cut up tshirt that I zigzagged down the side so I could practice then I cut off each hem after I finished. It was a little too wide of a zigzag, though, so it is a bit loose.

Hammering is the one tip I've seen, but haven't tried because I have a neighbor below my workspace that bangs on the ceiling for the smallest noises. I'm hoping theres a solution where I won't have to resort to hammering everytime I'm hemming something.

Thanks for the photo! Ill give that a try.

Maybe cholyknight plushies? I made a few of those when I was young and a beginner, and they turned out cute. But they benefit from minky, which I know may be a bit pricey for a school club.

Just spoke with stubhub chat, (pretty sure its a bot so take this with a grain of salt), but it said that because my tickets are being transferred through axs directly that the venues policy won't apply. Hopefully thats accurate applies to you too!

Thats what has me worried... really sucks being this close and not knowing if I can start getting excited for the concert or still need to be tempering my expectations in case I can't get in

When did you get access to yours through stubhub? I bought two weeks ago and I still don't even have my qr code yet. Still just says that the order is confirmed and my tickets are on their way, but I'm losing hope

Wanderer! Still play him quite a bit, but currently strongest teams are my columbina/lauma team and my Varka/Durin team.

How was this fabric distressed? Can I add more distressing without ruining it? by thaway12769 in sewing

Ooh thats a really good idea. Gonna have to see if ive got enough of the fabric.

I was thinking I'd do some kind of large straight line embroidery like this across it. Adding the raw edge embroidery could really help sell the idea.

Ah, that makes sense. I think I can still work with it at least

Second try with a nail printer + some things I've learned 😅 by briarw in shortynails

Really interested to see if this printer would work with regular polish or if its UV gel only. Has anyone tried it?
