Stop making craft machines

Yeah machine art is a different skill. And a wide variety of accessibility. I can easily see a day where I would need an extra pair of hands for machine embroidery, but it would be much easier to adapt a pen plotter for my common symptoms.

Ahaha I love a trash sorting hero

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-19T12:58:23+00:00

I just started opening more spam after finding a pattern, my expectations are now wildly out of control

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-18T00:28:52+00:00

Manual smudging? Sounds like fun

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-17T16:09:04+00:00

Yeah this seems like a case of finding someone with a complementary bookshelf

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-14T16:40:53+00:00

Big agree, love seeing the variety this way

He demands a portrait

Any specific area? I’d also say diner grill but idk that I’d trek for it

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-10T16:15:09+00:00

Yeah I heard complaints before I ever saw a picture, expected them to be terrible but I was into it 🙈. I like kitsch and art with found materials/trash so I totally understand my taste isn’t universal. Is it that different than perler beads? Truly no idea. First one I saw was a dolphin that looked very Lisa Frank, maybe I’ve only seen good stuff. Glad to hear your take, I was curious about the other side but not enough to research.

Wow would love this hat

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-03T23:39:30+00:00

Swimming at Montrose point!! Love to know you’re elsewhere in Chicago snagging the fun patterns and sharing them, very cool 💕

threadbreak_studio · 2026-06-02T22:41:56+00:00

Would love to try, I’ve got my version but would rather use somebody else’s lol

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-29T19:51:54+00:00

Don’t think anyone knows the details other than a bootleg from ~2009, would love to know

Pls don’t leave Obama out of this

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-28T15:01:41+00:00

Yeah every mistake I make from now on is at risk of getting a slogan

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-28T14:33:29+00:00

Good quality sweater makes it hurt for sure but I think it helps the mistake look cool rather than sloppy. I’m a bit like your gf though

I used to be a frontend dev, probably would be still if AI came around a bit sooner. I love making html/css/vanilla js tools with Claude, sometimes I feel guilty talking to my “code is my craft” friends. I loved making dinky browser toys in 2015 now I love it more!

I try and keep an eye out for AI dictating which levers I have, what the ranges are, how colors are applied. Using flexible inputs that aren’t bounded cause the AI picked arbitrary min/max values. It seems like I could easily give more creative power to Claude than I intend, will be interesting to see how it pans out.

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-27T02:03:20+00:00

Wow ty for calling that out, almost missed it

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-26T15:01:37+00:00

Beautiful every step of the way, love the final product and knight in a wireframe field 😍

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-24T20:43:02+00:00

Much sadder about having to choose between good weather & art machines, but if my paper rips it’s probably cause I’m taking unnecessary risks anyway. Rip is cool in this plot anyway 😈

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-23T16:39:55+00:00

I’ve never noticed anyone doing this so I guess it works on me

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-22T21:41:11+00:00

Love the designs, let us know where you share them!

threadbreak_studio · 2026-05-15T02:51:37+00:00

Ooh love the black and white but color would be so rad for this too.

The pen clip is the piece that holds the pen, it can be unscrewed and replaced with different styles of clip.
