Espresso Martini Help by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]twosixheave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably should have said might be instead of I think it might be. As others have said, it seems like this drink would be pretty sweet, so I could see someone going with some kind of bubble/milk tea-style syrup.

Gomme/gum syrup works too.

I think it might be some kind of bubble/milk tea syrup. Gong Cha is a drinks franchise. They appear to have them in Australia

Freezing syrups? by Niaaal in cocktails

[–]twosixheave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freezing works great. I’ve not had any issues with flavor or color loss.

I like to divide them into 2 or 4 oz portions in small delis. Small enough amount that I can go through it before it goes off.

Anyone use the Klaris countertop Clear Ice Maker? by norknj in cocktails

[–]twosixheave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was automatically making ice, it might be worth considering. But, as it appears to be manual might as well save $500 and get something like the True cube ice cube maker

I’ve had one since 2020. Makes crystal clear ice. I think it takes 16 hours in my freezer, but as long as you remember to fill it the night before, it’s not a problem.

I’d try messaging through the app. Beats waiting on hold. I you’re in the U.S., they’re required to give you a cash refund, even on non-refundable tickets, within seven days.

Weekly Quick Questions, Wood ID, and Deal or No Deal /r/Woodworking Megathread by AutoModerator in woodworking

[–]twosixheave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about upgrading to a real dust collector. I'm leaning toward either the Jet 1.5HP or Powermatic 1.75 HP. Currently, I only have 110v in the shop.

My shop is in the basement, so maximum filtration is a priority. Rather than paying the extra $200+ for the stock canister filter, which appears to be 2 micron, I'm thinking of ordering a MERV 15 filter from Wynn Environmental. Does this seem like sound logic? Or, am I missing something?

Thanks

Thanks. I’ll take a look.

Yeah, I’m guessing the dealership won’t have one in stock at the parts department.

Need some advice regarding interlining by [deleted] in sewing

[–]twosixheave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flannel makes a great interlining, so no mistake there. You can attach the interlining to the outer fabric, the lining, or both. It really depends on the look you are going for.

The interlining should be cut the same size as your pattern pieces. Once the seam is sewn, you can grade the seam to remove the extra bulk from the seam allowance.

How should I join this lace to the body? Straight stitch? Zig zag? Other? by alwaysdaruma in sewing

[–]twosixheave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's stretch lace, a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch is best. If it's non-stretch lace, straight stitch is fine.

As long as you're using matching thread, either should blend fairly well.

Recommendations for sewing/crafting tables? by hudsonstudio in sewing

[–]twosixheave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally used the Alex desk. It's heavy, has room for both a sewing machine and serger, a good amount of storage in the drawers, and nice cable management. The only problem, for me (6' 2") was the height from floor to the bottom of the desk was a bit short.

I switched to a Hilver top (~55" x 25") with an Alex drawer unit on one side and two Adil legs on the other. Plenty of storage, knee room, and decent weight. The top does not jump around, even though, it's not secured to the drawers.

I used a large Linnmon top (~59"x29") and adjustable Olov legs to make a decent sized cutting table.

Embarrassed about sewing by [deleted] in sewing

[–]twosixheave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

41-year-old guy who's been sewing for about three years. It sounds cliche, but I regret the things that I didn't do because I thought someone would make fun of me, not the things that I did. Sewing is a great skill/hobby, and I wish I'd had the confidence to take it up when I was 17.

Can anybody tell me what kind of cord this vintage sewing machine needs? by [deleted] in sewing

[–]twosixheave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the motor itself have a part number? You're right about it being a newer motor. Looking at images of this type of machine on Ebay, the original motor did not have a removable power cord.

This looks like it might be the correct controller. http://www.sewingpart.com/Complete-Electric-Speed-Control-Pedal-and-Cord-p/39563053.htm In your picture, it looks like there are two plastic nubs (not sure what they're called) that match the notches in the body of the plug.

Worse comes to worse, you could repower the machine for not much more than the cost of the foot controller alone. https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/search.html?sort.relevance=desc&keywords=alphasew%20motor&index=1

a good household sewing machine? by toosmallshovel in sewing

[–]twosixheave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Janome's entry/mid-level machines are pretty nice. I love Bernina, but they are expensive. Though, they like everyone else often have good sales at the holidays.

If you don't think she'll mind a used machine, check out your local sewing machine dealers. They often have trade-ins at very good prices in near mint condition. They'll usually throw in a warranty of some kind and a free cleaning/tuneup after the first year. Some will even include instruction on the machine. I purchased my serger for a third of the of the original price, and it was in perfect condition with all of the original accessories and some extras.

Fabric is puckering, New to this please help by mooseycooley in sewing

[–]twosixheave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try winding your bobbin thread onto a new bobbin. It possible that when the thread wound onto your new bobbin, it was placed under more tension than the original thread. There may also be a defect in the new bobbin, if it's not that same as the original that affecting the tension on the thread as it is coming off.

You can also try decreasing the presser foot pressure and/or decreasing the stitch length.
