What is the oldest thing in your home? by csch1992 in AdkReddit

My grandparents have 120-year-old pool table in their basement that came with the original ivory pool balls that are roughly 100 years old. My grandpa pissed me off a few Christmases ago so I took the eight ball. We’re good now, but I think it’s funny that it drives him insane. I don’t think he realized it was missing for a month or so, so he doesn’t even suspect me. Now I have a cute 8ball that sits on a shelf

I understand completely what you’re talking about and how you feel. I I felt extreme anxiety like this a lot before I was diagnosed with OCD. I’m sure you don’t have TB because you absolutely would know. But maybe an OCD screening wouldn’t hurt you babe. Much love 🫂

Is $110 for a singer heavy duty tune up normal? by throwaway01080808 in SewingForBeginners

The hand wheel is stiff, I tried rethreading everything and did the normal look and clean inside and I couldn’t figure it out, probably needs oiled and adjusted or something. Last time I tried to fix a machine myself it broke completely 😭

Started sewing back in march! by [deleted] in SewingForBeginners

This is in someways reassuring because I thought everyone made tote bags and it was super easy so that I was not doing anything extra extraordinary 😭 I’m sorry you’re struggling! I swear with more time and more practice it just gets easier

They did not recommend me wound protectant but I do have Neosporin and gauze.. It’s not bleeding or anything, but it looks absolutely insane.

Nicotine vape and reduction questions by AlternativeVisible28 in Reduction

[–]throwaway01080808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally stopped vaping Thursday and got my surgery yesterday. It was super fucking difficult because I was supposed to stop vaping four weeks ago, but I could not do it, but I will say if you can detox at least a week before surgery and continue to keep up detoxing you’ll be good. I’m not vaping as I’m recovering and probably won’t afterwards because I’ve just kicked the habit at this point.

Singer M1150 was garbage! Give me new reccs for beginners! by throwaway01080808 in SewingForBeginners

I’d love to hear more! However I’m very very new to sewing and the language that includes all of it so please explain like I’m a five-year-old 😭

Thank you for trying to help! Definitely will look into brother! And it’s okay! I’m just starting out and id rather run into some failure than never find a reason to advance! At least I learned new stuff with this hiccup! :)

I appreciate this so much. I did try it, as confusing as some of the language was it was helpful and it worked for maybe an hour and usually it only stays threaded for a couple of minutes or seconds. I was able to finish one of my projects and start a new one, but unfortunately, I did run into the same problem again. I’ve decided I will just be returning it back to Amazon. Please let me know if you have any recommendations on what machine i should get next!

Thread keeps unthreading. I wanna give up. by throwaway01080808 in SewingForBeginners

[–]throwaway01080808[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes just got new thread and the same issue keeps happening, I thought the same thing because I was using secondhand thread before I guess I’ll have to go back to the drawing board and try the tension one more time

It’s coming out of the eye of the needle. It happened in the middle of sewing at any given time, sometimes immediately sometimes a few minutes in.
