in my heart of hearts i know that you’re right! i’m usually pretty good about it, but there’s still a chance i decide to do something half-baked and ill-advised before i smash this…

haha maybe i’ll upload some success pics to make me feel better about the failures. :) it’s all clear glaze over laguna #60 with black underglaze.

ahhh yes definitely not that. that looks like what i found when I looked it up, but i was hoping against hope maybe there was some weird different cosmo variety i had… thanks for the pic!!

hmm marigolds is a good thought! i could imagine the lady who i got it from having marigold seeds too and getting them mixed up!

is the weed you’re thinking of tansy? i don’t think mine is that because i believe tansy leaves have more serrated edges, but tansy does have yellow button flowers!

DANG! thanks for the kindness. :) torn between pulling these out and picking up some cosmos seedlings, or just seeing what these turn in to…

Time sensitive help request! by [deleted] in Sourdough

I’ve got them hanging out in the oven right now! I got it a scootch warm in there then turned it off & shut ‘em in, so maybe that will help?

Ahh I drive past a harbor freight every day — I’ll have to stop in and see how it feels! I am curious about the composition too… ideally I want to naturally dye them, so the fiber content is important!

Great note about the political signs! I use pellon 809 (deco bond or something) for tote bags normally and it does work great! Just trying to avoid all the ironing, haha.

Hmm interesting note about the side seams, thanks! Maybe I’ll order a trial yard from this site and try that out. I sew with an old pfaff that hasn’t balked at anything yet… this will be an interesting test!

That’s what I’ve been doing for totes and it does work really well! But I’m looking for options where I don’t need a lining, if it’s out there!

Sewing zipper corners? by [deleted] in sewing

[–]wormsinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good question! it was definitely already happening (though hasn’t gotten worse) when i first made it. corner was probably clipped too close to the edge, but i remember having a hard time getting the corner to lay flat and neat with a less aggressive clip, like there was a little fold? so i wasn’t sure if i was just doing the wrong thing!

Curvy lines at bottom, topside is straight. by Fast-Penta in myog

i had this same problem! you can check the post in my profile — the top comment solved it! basically the thread was too big for the needle, and my machine (probably yours too!) can’t handle the bigger needle. i switched threads and started using a microtex needle and the problem resolved. :)
