5529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-06-24T18:53:16.8770000-05:00Sewing peeps! If you are available on Thursday evening at 7 pm, the Sewing SIG will be meeting to (a) elect a new SIG leader and (b) talk about objectives once we have new dedicated space.

7529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-06-24T18:55:09.5940000-05:00So far, Beth Appleton and I are running for SIG leader. If anybody else wants to run, please announce your intention to do so here and on TALK.
8325498566762299393mizgeek2019-06-24T18:55:10.8290000-05:00I know this is important. This week is one of Wayne’s biggest gigs of the year (lighting A-Kon). I have tentative permission to leave. For this one event.
9325498566762299393mizgeek2019-06-24T18:55:33.2300000-05:00I haz to be there now.

13388213344236077056doug.emes2019-06-24T19:26:15.3150000-05:00Team yall are great folks and the sig would be empowered with either!
14325498566762299393mizgeek2019-06-24T20:34:03.7070000-05:00Of course! It’s just nice to have a real election rather than a battle to say “Not it!” first. 😁

16300080747673288704kenpurcell2019-06-25T09:08:34.1690000-05:00Cannot wait for the sewing sig to have their new workspace. We should finally have our third quote to re-level the CA floor. Thanks for your patience!
17385477767179010049stephenie.2019-06-25T12:37:03.4980000-05:00OMG. Three quotes! Thank you to whoever is overseeing this for demonstrating due diligence.
18121823075548266496shdragon2019-06-25T15:28:52.4060000-05:00Oooh, we we getting a dedicated space in CA? That will be awesome. 😃
19529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-06-25T16:14:25.7950000-05:00The room formerly known as Digital Media is earmarked for Sewing. The computer-graphic-output stuff like the vinyl cutter, dye sublimation, silhouette cameo, etc. will be in the room formerly known as the Conference Room, and the rest of CA will be in the space formerly known as the Common Room. Yee ha!🤠 (6)
20121823075548266496shdragon2019-06-26T22:59:42.7300000-05:00I only worry about that room being a bit small (The most annoying thing was finding a big enough table for cutting fabric), but getting a room will be awesome anyway. 😃
21488485682184978442yashsedai2019-06-26T23:27:47.8730000-05:00@stephenie that would be me with the three quotes💯 (2)
22300080747673288704kenpurcell2019-06-27T07:54:14.2940000-05:00Thank you Freddy. I know we decided to go with the two but better that we have three.
23529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-06-27T13:04:09.1100000-05:00It’s not a bad-sized room. I think once we can put the ping-pong cutting table into actual play, it’ll be a happy place.
24325498566762299393mizgeek2019-06-27T13:13:24.5930000-05:00It just needs to be organized well. Like my home sewing room, go vertical as much as possible. Let no open space lay fallow. 😁
25300075929848381451stansimmons20312019-06-27T14:01:55.4220000-05:00The floor guys are working on the concrete in the new CA room👌 (3),💜 (2)

28545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-06-27T16:27:33.9000000-05:00I hate that floor...
29388213344236077056doug.emes2019-06-27T16:27:43.0250000-05:00Anyone taking photos videos anything
30545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-06-27T16:27:45.6750000-05:00And cant wait to cover it up
31545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-06-27T16:28:10.5680000-05:00Doug you probably still have the DTs from that floor scraper

35325498566762299393mizgeek2019-07-03T17:42:25.0190000-05:00So cool!
36385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-03T19:17:20.4250000-05:00So many tiny pieces. I wish I'd paid attention to when it was made.
37325498566762299393mizgeek2019-07-03T19:28:38.8610000-05:00Who made it?

41325498566762299393mizgeek2019-07-03T19:37:08.5540000-05:00That is awesome.
42385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-03T19:37:33.7170000-05:00The Smithsonian has been digitizing their collections. This turned out to be an easy search.
43385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-03T19:38:10.4950000-05:00But their photo doesn't do the actual quilt justice.
44385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-03T19:38:26.7420000-05:00Of course neither does mine

53529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-03T21:58:24.5650000-05:00Condolences on guinea pig. I'm feeling the pressure with my senior citizen dog...

61385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-04T22:16:20.6970000-05:00Judy made the poster and I created a Talk thread.
62385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-04T22:16:46.2420000-05:00I couldn't put up posters around space.
63385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-04T22:19:26.9660000-05:00I am totally in for this!!!! Entering 3 prints in different categories: printmaking, Valentine's, New Year's. Don't even have to make something new. Got stuff I made in during the eligibility window. No mad dash to the finish line.
64385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-04T22:24:52.7120000-05:00Just gave the thread a bump
65529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-04T23:45:37.5610000-05:00I made three different posters, actually. Note to self. Take the laptop and your own paper just in case tomorrow. And scotch tape. That would be important too. #wearyofbluetape
66194641296529424386canibalcrab2019-07-04T23:46:29.4410000-05:00we got more paper
67385477767179010049stephenie.2019-07-04T23:46:51.0300000-05:00You made 3 posters. Three great posters.
68529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-04T23:58:00.2970000-05:00I’m making a new thing. Embroidery on a hand-dyed pocket apron. If the bob ross Quilt is rejected before the fair entry deadline, I can add that as well. Might be able to enter the quilt I made Larry’s aunt Becky. Hmmm.

71262734618447446016draco_the_drake2019-07-05T00:25:51.9930000-05:00Sorry .. I'll butt out ... haha

73529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-05T09:32:25.5750000-05:00Larry Curtis. Aka ioport something on TALK. A couple of years ago, we went up to Maine in October for a week to (a) see the fall leaves and (b) visit with his relatives, who are mostly in their eighties and nineties. We stayed with one of the Uncle Donny’s (one on his dads side of family) and his wife Becky. I decided to make her a quilt. I had planned to just do a simple lap quilt, but it kinda got outta hand and turned into a bed-size quilt.
74529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-12T18:35:14.2950000-05:00So. Given your druthers, what sort of accommodations should we make for the sewing machine setup in our once and future space? My thought is that whatever we do, it needs to be moveable and/or foldable. What say you?
75325498566762299393mizgeek2019-07-13T13:06:53.2720000-05:00I agree. Moveable and/or foldable. Flexibility is important. In my opinion, sewing is part of many disciplines across Creative Arts. It’s important to sewing clothes, cosplay, traditional quilting, art quilts, toy making, fiber art... And all these may be practiced alone or classes.
76325498566762299393mizgeek2019-07-13T13:08:58.3000000-05:00(And I have notifications turned on for this channel now. My apologies... my default is off.)

86306540648234876928sewingstuff25612019-07-22T16:47:01.9590000-05:00Lol. Indeed. I’m off Wednesday and Thursday of this week. And Saturday because I switched shifts.
87529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-22T16:50:47.9740000-05:00So... if I'm still struggling with what the hell to do in there, you might come hang out on Wednesday for a bit? Larry and I are going to visit a foot spa sometime that day (one of my bucket list items. they are so mysterious...) but nothing else on my agenda.
88545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-07-22T16:51:22.0220000-05:00Did you get to play with the new machine yet?
89545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-07-22T16:52:00.5580000-05:00Is today your birthday Judy?
90306540648234876928sewingstuff25612019-07-22T16:54:31.6330000-05:00Yes I can definitely come by on Wednesday.
91529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-22T18:07:58.2270000-05:00Yes it is my birthday. And no, haven't been to DMS yet. Because it's my birthday and I choose to not be a drama llama today.
92300078993577607170merissa43082019-07-22T18:34:29.2970000-05:00Wooo!! Happy birthday Judy! 🎂 🎉
93306540648234876928sewingstuff25612019-07-22T18:48:45.5460000-05:00Of the 16 tubes that should be working in the seeing room, 10 are working. Probably all old floros.
94306540648234876928sewingstuff25612019-07-22T18:48:52.2110000-05:00The lights per Erik.
95529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-22T23:29:28.4310000-05:00Thank you @ESmith ! Another addition to my “spend some money” wish list to run by SIG and CA committee. The ceilings in there are a lot closer to the floor, so maybe @michaelb will play along?
96334393967015755776agr00902019-07-22T23:30:26.4740000-05:00Don't know total, but there is at least 8 of the new LED tubes on logistics shelf
97529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-22T23:32:03.0970000-05:00I’m guessing we need the new tombstone setups as well? Not that actually know diddly-squat about such things...
98529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-22T23:39:29.2410000-05:00If anybody out there in Discord land was gonna come help with the sewing room tomorrow morning, I may be getting there later than originally planned. Since it looks like I may be a solo player, I’m gonna puts around elsewhere before arrival.
99388213344236077056doug.emes2019-07-23T00:41:26.9380000-05:00Happy belated birthday

104547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T09:18:45.7660000-05:00the fixtures originally had two magnetic ballasts that each ran a pair of tubes - conveniently inboard and outboard. For the 3 fixtures with the inboard tubes out, that certainly means that the inboard ballast has failed.
105547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T09:20:09.9350000-05:00if Logistics has the supplies *(LED tubes, tombstones, wire - **especially wire**)* it's a ~30 minute task to replace all the fixtures and one only needs a short ladder
106529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-23T09:33:05.9300000-05:00I’d like to have the SIG vote to cover the cost of materials this go-round. Logistics has a lot on their financial plate for the immediate future, and as an old lady who needs all the light she can get when using a sewing machine, I’d like to be sure we don’t end up at the bottom of the “worth our resources” list. I know @michaelb did a parts run when he helped operate on the Lecture Hall, so I figure he can help with cost estimating for budget purposes.
107540021655909695488michaelb52502019-07-23T09:36:01.3730000-05:00I did, but we didn't use anything I bought 😂
108540021655909695488michaelb52502019-07-23T09:36:21.5010000-05:00It was all spare metal shop parts, @hon1nbo (k/j/t) exsilium would know
109547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T09:38:17.5830000-05:00there look to be LED tubes in stock, however I don't know who bought those
110547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T09:38:41.0670000-05:00also, I bought enough wire and almost enough tombstones circa 2017 to do most of DMS
111547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T09:39:55.0290000-05:00if I can find the time and I don't end up stealing anyone else's materials, I'll do it

114488485682184978442yashsedai2019-07-23T09:54:25.5950000-05:00we have the wire

116300075929848381451stansimmons20312019-07-23T10:09:44.6910000-05:00There are spools of wire in the lift basket.
117529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-23T10:15:43.0220000-05:00Yay team! Wire lives! Just need to figure out the other stuff.
118529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-23T10:18:13.9310000-05:00Metal budgeted $$ for changing out the horrible cave lights they had, so I’d assume the remaining tubes may have been part of their purchase. I think they piggybacked -their- order on some purchases made by expansion. But nonetheless, @hon1nbo (k/j/t) exsilium may be my budgetary source? I’ll also check with Tim b
119316809616828923904hon1nbo2019-07-23T10:20:11.3710000-05:00We still have more of metal to do but spared a few for the lecture hall since it was pretty bad in there. We need to do our middle fixtures and one in the corner still. Unsure how many bulbs are left
120316809616828923904hon1nbo2019-07-23T10:20:23.4330000-05:00But there is ton of wire and a baggie of tombstones
121529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-23T10:30:54.5900000-05:00Just so I can make budgeting prognostications, how much $$ should I plan for to do four fixtures and outfit with new tubes?

124547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T11:01:42.2190000-05:00tubes can be had for ~$10 each, tombstones <$1 each and wire perhaps $0.20 worth per fixture

126547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-23T11:15:34.3860000-05:00has typically been a logistics responsibility no matter where in the building

133545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-07-23T15:00:41.7440000-05:00Damn autocorrect! Happy birthday Judy.
134545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-07-23T15:01:00.7990000-05:00I have fat fingers, it was probably user error
135300075929848381451stansimmons20312019-07-23T16:00:15.9190000-05:00FYI: I've gotten a couple of complete LED fixtures from HomeDepot for $54 in single quantities, just in case the fixtures are damaged, etc.
136529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-23T17:16:17.6490000-05:00Whatever we do,I want it to consistent with rest of the space so we’re only stocking one type of tube.
137545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-07-23T21:42:24.8180000-05:00You said tube
138529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-07-23T22:09:38.4600000-05:00Is that bad? I was referring to fluorescent tubes.
139547106163842613259nullinterface2019-07-24T08:38:53.0710000-05:00if you're talking *amplifiers* the audiophiles will insist tubes are the only way to fly
140529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-04T23:13:26.7350000-05:00I goofed up. Apparently, when I was slaving over a SIG meeting posting for this Wednesday the 7th at 7 pm, I only imagined posting it elsewhere... ack. I hope somebody shows up. Pretty please?
141325498566762299393mizgeek2019-08-04T23:14:49.3960000-05:00I will be there 😀
142529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-09T12:41:38.1080000-05:00FYI, we approved table purchases and lighting upgrade at CA meeting last night.
143547106163842613259nullinterface2019-08-09T13:06:30.9390000-05:00neat. so I guess some tall fella gets to do the work.
144267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-09T13:25:37.9700000-05:00Woo!
145488485682184978442yashsedai2019-08-09T13:37:35.4930000-05:00So who is doing your lighting upgrade?
146547106163842613259nullinterface2019-08-09T13:46:11.7630000-05:00probably this guy
147194641296529424386canibalcrab2019-08-09T13:49:15.7830000-05:00Or me and @michaelb
148194641296529424386canibalcrab2019-08-09T13:49:42.5220000-05:00But with ladders. Because the lift is a hassle
149300080747673288704kenpurcell2019-08-09T13:58:15.4080000-05:00Does the lift actually work?
150540021655909695488michaelb52502019-08-09T14:03:44.7170000-05:00It works, just has an old battery that we forget the charge
151540021655909695488michaelb52502019-08-09T14:04:29.3370000-05:00No real need for it with the short cielings though.
152540021655909695488michaelb52502019-08-09T14:04:42.0620000-05:00Ceilings?
153547106163842613259nullinterface2019-08-09T14:06:12.5210000-05:00yeah, 6 or 8' ladder is fine in there
154547106163842613259nullinterface2019-08-09T14:06:21.1880000-05:00I did the former conference room standing on the table
155529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-09T15:06:03.7850000-05:00Only obstacle now is who will order the appropriate stuff. Hartnett just talks in circles and doesn’t answer the question.
156194641296529424386canibalcrab2019-08-09T15:07:10.0580000-05:00Working on it
157194641296529424386canibalcrab2019-08-09T15:07:25.7030000-05:00Gonna get a bunch to have on hand for requests
158529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-09T15:09:46.9330000-05:00I talked to Patty about the price for the tables with the sewing machine drop. We can get all three she has in stock for less than what we budgeted for two. Woot!
159325498566762299393mizgeek2019-08-09T21:06:53.4110000-05:00Yay!
160267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-11T12:04:49.8240000-05:00Sweet!
161267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-11T12:05:37.7160000-05:00I’m going to miss Quiltpocalypse today
162529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-11T12:36:18.0800000-05:00Sad trombone... Hope you get to do something awesome instead!
163388213344236077056doug.emes2019-08-11T15:46:48.4820000-05:00Sorry Jen and I are missing it, bad health day for my sweetie.
164529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-11T20:24:34.5770000-05:00Hope good health days return soon!
165267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-26T17:43:04.3400000-05:00Anyone know where the spray starch is hiding?
166529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-26T19:43:06.1780000-05:00Apparently we were out. I have two bottles in my car to deliver that I picked up at Wally World a couple of days ago. Sorry. I suck as a sig leader.
167267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-26T21:00:09.6760000-05:00Lol, it’s ok. I found the almost dead spray bottle on top of the painting cabinet in a box with a bunch of big bottles of acrylic paint once I had decided to charge ahead with my fabric cutting.
168267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-26T21:00:39.5620000-05:00I forgot to hop on here and say something when I did though
169529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-26T21:09:19.2780000-05:00Hey - did Greg ever manage to print whatever he was futzing with the other day?
170388213344236077056doug.emes2019-08-26T21:38:53.3770000-05:00Matt did the other day, dunno about Greg
171267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-26T22:03:09.5360000-05:00Yeah, he had to have Mark Reynolds do it from his android phone I think but it got done.
172267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-26T22:03:34.4030000-05:00It was not working from iOS though.
173267128283244527617sinless55552019-08-26T22:13:41.1430000-05:00Oh wait. Apparently Mark had to send them to Stan to get printing done
174300083517877125121andrew51522019-08-27T08:41:22.9300000-05:00@Lavarocks just curious: do you REALLY find threading Thor a bigger PITA then "normal" sewing machines? I didn't find it all that intimidating compared to those in my home, so just curious...
175545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-08-27T08:48:04.7420000-05:00Yes, it is about as bad as threading a serger. I recorded Matt showing us how to do it and the video was 12 mins long.
176545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-08-27T08:48:39.3540000-05:00It isn't intimidating, it is just a lot of steps
177300083517877125121andrew51522019-08-27T08:56:40.2300000-05:00OK. fair enough. and, just perusing what's available, and remembering it's been...like...100 years since I threaded it... I'll probably need a refresher before I can do it again... 😊 or at least someone to go "yeah, BEHIND that disk, dummy"...
178529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-27T09:06:55.5400000-05:00As the owner of four sewing machines, I can attest that if you string it up incorrectly, the machine doesn’t sew correctly. So I would say the ANXIETY of getting it right makes it ntimidating.
179529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-27T20:07:19.5860000-05:00So here’s what I’ve been doing this evening:

189385477767179010049stephenie.2019-08-28T12:09:28.4150000-05:00The news about the ping pong table is welcome

192545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-08-28T13:44:20.4050000-05:00I like those counters they have at hobby lobby with the scissors channel
193529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-28T13:46:10.0560000-05:00So just use the space between the tables?
194545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-08-28T14:02:57.2810000-05:00It isn't magical that way
195529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-08-28T15:16:20.5290000-05:00When I was a kid, all fabric cutting counters had these gizmos that the sales person pulled the end of the fabric into, then pulled it through sideways until the gauge on top showed the length needed. At this point, the clerk would mash down, and the gizmo would cut a notch. Which was then matched up to the cutting groove.

But when I looked yesterday, we had feet on all four legs! Yay! Dunno if @AGr made them between moving shelves and bins around late at night, or whether @kriskat30 acquired them, or if some other sewing fairy godperson made it happen

265529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-18T21:56:17.9650000-05:00Purchase two more sergers (same model as existing two) so there is a better pool of effective machines available for serger classes. (currently Astrud schleps in machines in her personal collection to augment the two DMS owns - but having similar-but-differing operating systems makes class a bit more challenging.) This will be presented at the CA meeting next month and considered for approval before we make the purchase.
266529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-18T21:57:49.3850000-05:00Voted to decommission the six Janome Magnolia sewing machines, since we now have a full complement of Babylock ZEST machines. This will allow at least *some* of the machines to be in relatively decent working order for resale purposes.
267529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-18T21:59:10.0570000-05:00Decided to return REX the leather machine to its' owner. It's not a great machine to begin with, and since THOR joined the family, he's sort of the cousin that nobody likes anymore. Because, THOR!
268529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-18T22:02:07.0210000-05:00Made a plan to phase out the Babylock embroidery machine in the next 6-12 months, then return to its' owner. DMS owns the Viking machine donated by a dealer in Tulsa, OK. While the machines are both embroidery machines, they do not operate in the same manner. Teaching two different machines will not be very good use of teacher/volunteer time, as they have to be taught separately.
269388213344236077056doug.emes2019-09-18T22:24:02.3070000-05:00Which viking model offhand or do I need to dig on the wiki
270267128283244527617sinless55552019-09-19T06:52:38.7400000-05:00It’s a Husqvarna Viking Designer SE (from Oklahoma City 😉 )
271300080747673288704kenpurcell2019-09-19T06:53:09.7840000-05:00Thanks for the update @judy Kriehn
272547106163842613259nullinterface2019-09-19T07:06:29.0070000-05:00Husqvarna - a company that makes many flavors of outdoor power equipment *and* sewing machines
273300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T07:15:25.0990000-05:00wikipedia be believed they make sewing machines (also, a slew of outdoor power equipment). Interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husqvarna_Group
274300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T07:15:45.2070000-05:00I kinda want a Husqvarna rifle, now...

276547106163842613259nullinterface2019-09-19T07:24:05.2280000-05:00looks like they made Mauser derivatives
277529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T09:24:19.5470000-05:00And... the sewing machine contingent of Viking is owned by the same holding company as Pfaff and Singer. Pfaff and Viking Sewing machines built since they merged are basically identical except for the color of the shell.👍 (1)
278300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T09:56:21.9760000-05:00I was trying to figure out WHERE they build them... (not because it necessarily matters, but if one were to wish to limit the USD one is sending to certain governments, one might like to know these things)
279547106163842613259nullinterface2019-09-19T10:21:17.7230000-05:00Badge Engineering - *no longer just for automobiles*
280529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T10:44:54.2090000-05:00In a discussion with a sewing machine guy who "knows things" they are all "built" in China. US headquarters is in Ohio, last I heard. Pfaff equipment still bears "German Engineering" badge, but even that is becoming a stretch.
281529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T10:47:53.5010000-05:00Low-end machines (i.e. inexpensive) for just about all home-sewing machines have been China-built as long as that's been something I cared about. Some companies, like Bernina, still build their flagship machines in their home countries, but I'd wager parts may still be manufactured elsewhere.
282300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T10:53:35.0160000-05:00You said what I was thinking...and you have better expertise AND better connections. Like most things (seems to me) these days, even if they were "made in XXX", the parts they used in XXX to 'make' them might themselves be made elsewhere.
283267128283244527617sinless55552019-09-19T13:39:42.4510000-05:00Bernina’s stuff that’s not out of Switzerland comes from Thailand (that’s my useless trivia for today)👍 (1)
284300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T13:43:48.3540000-05:00I have an old bernina. Never knew they were a thing til recently.
285529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T19:59:55.2960000-05:00Except for the fact that the old ones don’t use the same feet as the newer ones, they’re pretty awesome machines.
286300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T20:20:03.2910000-05:00Mine needs a new home (because I never have used it, really, and have another that will likely be "the one", which I ALSO never get to use) but there's some sentimentality in it, having belonged to my mother (during her "lean years" it put food on her table)...
287325498566762299393mizgeek2019-09-19T20:24:50.4410000-05:00Nothing sadder than an unused machine. 😮
288300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T20:26:24.6210000-05:00except, probably, my ham-fisted efforts... pretty sure I do it all wrong. But I have gotten a few usable things out of it (the Bernina)...
289300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T20:26:36.3580000-05:00But not for the last...decade...or so...
290325498566762299393mizgeek2019-09-19T20:27:54.4880000-05:00Most of us are faking it. Just have fun. 😀👌 (1)
291529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:33:15.3560000-05:00If it’s mechanical, you might ask @stephenie if she’s interested.
292529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:35:02.6910000-05:00Her machine has decided to only sew in reverse. She dislikes computerized machines
293325498566762299393mizgeek2019-09-19T20:35:09.2210000-05:00Or me 😝
294300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T20:35:30.8150000-05:00by mechanical, do you mean treadle op? It's electric. Probably from...1960sish, I would guess...
295325498566762299393mizgeek2019-09-19T20:36:26.4610000-05:00She wins! Mine work, I just haven’t replace my mechanical that was stolen.
296529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:36:41.5030000-05:00No, electric, controlled with knobs rather than computerized touch screen.
297300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T20:37:26.4000000-05:00it's this one, if I recall properly https://www.raisin-toast.com/in_the_studio/2011/04/memories-of-a-bernina.html
298529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:37:46.2100000-05:00The Pfaff in the sewing room is mechanical. The embroidery machine is computerized.
299529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:38:22.8210000-05:00Yep! Good bare bones mechanical.
300300083517877125121andrew51522019-09-19T20:38:23.1860000-05:00I have no idea what I'd do with one with a computer on it

303529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:41:12.7990000-05:00All four of mine are computerized.
304529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T20:41:39.1340000-05:00The oldest one is around 25 years old.

308325498566762299393mizgeek2019-09-19T23:10:58.2880000-05:00Already got rid of mine. Never used it.
309545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-09-19T23:11:11.8650000-05:00Sad face
310545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-09-19T23:11:29.7480000-05:00It is the best of the old machines to sew dog collars
311529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T23:17:56.3790000-05:00Have you tried sewing a dog collar with the Pfaff 130?
312529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-19T23:19:10.8500000-05:00I got rid of my Featherweight as well. I used it once, and my toe was so tired by the end of that relatively puny quilt that I never used it again. Despite being lectured regularly about its virtues by Jack the repair guy. (now deceased.)
313529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-20T18:21:24.2090000-05:00FYI gang: Matt is planning to bring a commercial (garment-type) sewing machine to the space. Sewing room will be getting more cramped. More furniture rearranging to take place.

316529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-20T21:26:38.9730000-05:00I’m thinking I might try them back-to-back to the right of the door.
317267128283244527617sinless55552019-09-20T21:28:50.0690000-05:00Yeah, that could work
318545650746838745089lavarocks.2019-09-20T21:47:01.9330000-05:00Pardon my ignorance. Do you need the ping pong table for what you do?
319267128283244527617sinless55552019-09-20T22:12:06.2310000-05:00We need some kind of big wide area that hasn’t been fouled with glue/paint/toenails/etc. to cut fabric out
320529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-21T00:22:14.7700000-05:00And just think. An intended to have the entire ping pong table setup ALL THE TIME, buy a machine like Matt is donating, and everything else. Woulda been a Tetris adventure every time someone went in...
321529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-21T00:30:44.6220000-05:00In my perfect world, we’d have something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Martha-Stewart-Living-Craft-Space-Sequoia-Brown-Wooden-Collapsible-Craft-Table-with-Wheels-60-in-W-0795000960/303569845?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CG%7CBase%7CHDH%7C59-34_INTERIOR+FURNITURE%7CNA%7CPLA%7CHome+Office%7C71700000048685358%7C58700004834194635%7C92700046771713997&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6fr6sJbh5AIVh-NkCh08rQ3kEAQYAiABEgKHHPD_BwE Opens to a nice size for clothing or quilt cutting, but closes up to puny. But not sure I could sweet-talk Brandon into engineering one for us. And when we’re not hauling people into the space like other CA things, I dont really want to ask for a prefab one like this...
322267128283244527617sinless55552019-09-21T15:31:18.0290000-05:00Yeah, a table like that would be sweet

326325498566762299393mizgeek2019-09-21T18:36:00.9510000-05:00That looks functional
327267128283244527617sinless55552019-09-22T10:45:57.1670000-05:00Very cool
328517420952959844354apparently_weird2019-09-26T12:42:41.2000000-05:00That table doesn’t look that difficult to make. 60 x 40 with two drop leafs.
329517420952959844354apparently_weird2019-09-26T12:46:06.0850000-05:00Really enjoyed the zippered pouch class the other eveninghttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/592862230165454848/626836912828579840/image0.jpg?ex=67b9649e&is=67b8131e&hm=6348f354183bc7ada00788ce45d73e316a2f205aff55bc39729058d0940f921a&🙌 (3)
330529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-26T13:48:44.4020000-05:00Yah, but talking about building things and actually building them are two distinctly different things.
331529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-26T13:49:14.6570000-05:00I have many UFO’’s that can illustrate that axiom.
332517420952959844354apparently_weird2019-09-26T13:58:18.9700000-05:00In a volunteer run organization I’m sure no one knows what you’re talking about. 😉 I need to work on some furniture anyways, and could use a miniature design like this as an end table. Let me see what I can come up with, then sewing can see if they’d be interested in a larger version.
333529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-09-27T10:21:23.6880000-05:00Might look online for plans as well. Chris Marlowe found something similar when I was looking for sewing tables.
334267128283244527617sinless55552019-11-05T09:18:29.9580000-06:00Does 5 spaces sound like a reasonable number for a sewing 101 or should it be 4? I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew for my first attempt
335529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-11-05T14:52:16.0860000-06:00Well, Beth had a beginner class a couple of weeks ago with five spaces, and had two no-shows. Naturally, mileage may vary, but it’s something to consider. You might ask the other Cindy what her experience has been.
336267128283244527617sinless55552019-11-05T15:09:03.6080000-06:00Ok
337267128283244527617sinless55552019-11-08T15:12:15.2620000-06:00Any idea why the CA Sewing Room says do not use for booking a class? I can put it in the studio but I wanted to know why it’s listed that way
338388213344236077056doug.emes2019-11-08T17:51:06.6350000-06:00It's old remnant. Will get it resolved this weeekend
339388213344236077056doug.emes2019-11-08T17:51:17.8990000-06:00Please book it
340267128283244527617sinless55552019-11-08T20:18:42.6860000-06:00I booked for the studio. I’ll get it changed once it’s approved and the listing’s changed
341529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-11-08T23:48:00.5470000-06:00You can actually book the room even though it says not to.
342529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-11-08T23:49:00.4800000-06:00FYI - I had originally had the caveat placed on the room before we had functional furniture. Forgot it was there. Then the people who "know things" got busy with other honey-do's.
343267128283244527617sinless55552019-11-09T10:21:53.1800000-06:00Totally understand
344371416661040955403talkers2019-11-10T03:28:15.9570000-06:00@doug.emes I fixed the room title the other day after seeing this post. But I thought it was a talk post and could not close the loop with you until now
345388213344236077056doug.emes2019-11-10T10:06:43.1370000-06:00Awesome, thank you sir

348371416661040955403talkers2019-11-10T22:04:24.8720000-06:00Hi. That'd the status on the Viking? I saw on the listed of tools we have. Do we have a trainer? @Hardsuit has one. Amanda R does a lot of embroidery & classes. I bet she would like to go thru the manual and videos. I would offer, but will not have time for a couple of weeks.
349371416661040955403talkers2019-11-10T22:07:09.4640000-06:00The Consew looks really nice. Kris and Matt made a video on how to thread and use it. I'll link it on wiki and share on talk. Chris Marlow already linked the manual. I'll add a great article that reviews it and breaks down all the functions. Re origin stories: consew is made by Seiko in Japan.
350529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-11-11T17:00:39.1820000-06:00I let Amanda take the Viking home for a couple of weeks to explore. She is officially familiar, but has not officially decided what her teaching commitment will be. Chris M has one like it, and has made an effort to prevent loss of key doodads like the stylus.
351529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-11-11T17:01:50.4590000-06:00I have no desire to do embroidery at this juncture in life.
352529874076752150539judykriehn37272019-11-11T17:04:12.6470000-06:00Amanda notes that it is not like the brother at all, so trying to intro both at the same time wouldn’t be effective. The SIG voted to phase the Brother out within a year for that reason, since it is not DMS-owned equipment.
353371416661040955403talkers2019-11-11T20:25:17.4060000-06:00Def a good idea to focus on one machine.
354529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-01-27T12:04:23.8180000-06:00Meeting scheduled for 02/04 in sewing room at 7 pm
355325498566762299393mizgeek2020-01-28T21:09:08.0050000-06:00It’s on my calendar 🙂
356267128283244527617sinless55552020-01-30T14:59:26.3700000-06:00Can anyone hazard a guess to where a French curve might be found at DMS?
357529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-01-30T19:08:54.9750000-06:00Allegedly, the curves that were purchased for the pattern-making classes are in the teaching cabinet. I’ve not seen any though... there -might- be one in the cabinet on one of the shelves, either under other stuff or against the side.
358545650746838745089lavarocks.2020-02-02T21:02:04.3300000-06:00Yes, they used to be in there in the back of the top shelf.
359135901932345753600abnoba122020-03-06T11:53:14.7940000-06:00I have two trashbags full of random material. Its all random stuff and random sizes. Any one want them, if not then they will probably end up in the trash?
360540021655909695488michaelb52502020-03-27T15:09:36.7860000-05:00@judy Kriehn I think I remember a show and tell recently where you did a quilt with some sort of print to fabric service and highlighted the outlines in the quilting? Where'd you find a printer to do that?
361540021655909695488michaelb52502020-03-27T15:13:04.7310000-05:00Oops, sorry, found the post! My Fabric Designs❤️ (1)
362529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-03-27T17:40:42.0710000-05:00Yeah, and they send their files overseas.
363529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-03-28T23:23:44.8030000-05:00Hey @michaelb - I got an email from My Fabric Designs today. They are running a 20% off special until April 4. Use code 20Spirit to get discount. (they are promoting parents printing school spirit banners to turn their "home school" situations into something a little more cheerful, if you will.)
364540021655909695488michaelb52502020-03-28T23:25:44.3150000-05:00Oh cool! I was thinking of doing a photo collage kind of throw for my mom that's a good incentive to try it out
365529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-03-29T00:26:41.1380000-05:00Are you planning to "quilt" it? Or have it quilted? If you're thinking something more like a fleece throw, take a look at Zazzle https://www.zazzle.com/photo+blankets Vistaprint https://www.vistaprint.com/photo-gifts/fleece-blankets?xnav=swsProductOnly_ResultTitle or Shutterfly https://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/pillows-blankets I haven't looked at the "what they print on" options at My Fabric Designs lately, but in case they don't include something like what you have in mind, these may be viable options.
366540021655909695488michaelb52502020-03-29T07:59:56.6260000-05:00I was thinking of 'quilting' it. Upper fabric with photos, bottom fabric, a nice border, batting in between, and then sitting down and outlining the photos with stitching to hold it all in place.
367529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-03-29T13:23:03.9460000-05:00Cool. I can help with that process.
368540021655909695488michaelb52502020-03-29T13:28:39.6830000-05:00I will have to gather willpower, pictures, and fabric first so it might be some time, but I will definitely be needing advice when I get started.
369529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-04T18:24:34.2640000-05:00Hey gang, if anybody out there would be interested in a bias tape making jig, Mike Churchill will do the 3D printing and leave it in his mailbox for pickup. A friend of mine is enroute now to pick one up.

373194641296529424386canibalcrab2020-04-04T18:28:31.2080000-05:00It's not part of the farm
374570472690541002764hardsuit2020-04-04T21:30:06.6690000-05:00Nice, was gonna suggest this
375570472690541002764hardsuit2020-04-04T21:30:53.3430000-05:00We broke down and ordered two bias binding feet, one generic and one Husqvarna
376529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-04T21:36:44.9420000-05:00This is the one Mike printed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3880491 Looking at other designs, this one is intriguing, as it *appears* to make the double-fold bias in a single step. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4243234 This one apparently works in combo with a regular bias tape maker (like the one Mike printed) and do the double-fold portion of the equation.

378325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-04T22:05:01.1640000-05:00Those are awesome!!!
379300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T12:06:13.1170000-05:00Is there a general consensus on the best type of cloth face masks to sew? There are SO many patterns out there. Just a matter of personal preference?
380194641296529424386canibalcrab2020-04-05T15:39:22.3030000-05:00I think fabric matters more than style
381300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T15:40:14.6940000-05:00K. I've got that covered then.
382194641296529424386canibalcrab2020-04-05T15:40:54.4100000-05:00Someone was testing them with an aresol perfume sprayer and if sprayed on one side from 8-12 inches and it goes through the fabric, it's not very helpful
383194641296529424386canibalcrab2020-04-05T15:41:18.1490000-05:00I don't know that it's a legit test though but it's a good place to start
384300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T15:42:13.1150000-05:00I'm seeing a lot of recommendations of two layers of quilting cotton and then a layer of flannel in the middle.
385300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T15:45:35.2200000-05:00CDC baseline recommendation actually seems kinda flimsy but I dunno. That t-shirt no sew one. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html
386529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:25:53.3960000-05:00I’ve made three different patterns so far. I’m personally underwhelmed with the pleated designs. Lots of work, but they don’t seem to fit very well. I like the fit of the design from the Japanese blogger and/or the Olson design. But it is time-consuming. The one I found easiest to work with is the one Clover has posted on their website. It looks weird by itself, but actually seems to fit pretty well.

388529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:36:01.5080000-05:00The photos above are (mostly) the one from the Japanese blogger. It has the option of a pocket formed between the germy world outside and the your face side, where you can slip a surgical mask filter, folded paper towel, Kleenex...

390529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:37:20.8380000-05:00This one is the pattern Clover is sharing. That I found easier to make.
391529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:38:55.9290000-05:00General consensus is the highest thread count fabric you can get your hands on is the best. For example, commercial batik fabrics are quite high thread count.
392529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:41:10.9160000-05:00Flannel isn’t generally high thread count off the bolt, but after washing it shrinks -making the fabric a bit denser, plus the fuzziness inherent in flannel may be an additional germ catcher.
393529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:42:58.4310000-05:00No woven interfacing (pellon, for example) is also recommended as a good liner.
394529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:47:29.3730000-05:00While a lot of people have dissed tshirt fabric as full of holes, that actually varies by shirt. A threadbare tshirt you’ve had since 1985 is probably not a good choice. But a relatively newish tshirt, whether a blend or all cotton, is actually pretty dense. And since it doesn’t ravel, it can be a bit easier to work with. A friend in Austin has been using strips of tshirt to make the mask ties, since they have “give” like elastic does.

396529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:54:50.2290000-05:00This pattern is one that I read about last night. Very similar to the one from the Japanese blogger.
397529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T19:55:25.3660000-05:00More info than you wanted, huh @mell ?😄 (2)
398300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T20:02:38.0780000-05:00Exactly the kind of info I was looking for Judy! Just made one of the pleated styles and I hate the fit.

400529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T20:40:44.9540000-05:00this link goes to the one I thought was easy to make and fits pretty well.
401529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-05T20:43:20.7820000-05:00If you want to use elastic, the info on how long it should be is not very consistent or helpful. But since now it appears the backs of everybodys ears hurt from the behind-the-ear variety anyway, I think making earloops intentionally long and then make a short piece of "tie" to connect the earloops in back.
402300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T21:12:14.0310000-05:00I made another pleated one with some added wire to the nose bridge section and that little bit made a big difference in fit for me. And just made it with ties bc I had a TON of bias tape I was kinda saving for a project.
403300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T21:12:41.4490000-05:00But Alex reminded me it has been an unfinished project for something like 2 years ...😆dms (1)
404300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-05T21:13:31.0590000-05:00I think I'll try the Clover one next.
405343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-05T23:25:25.3030000-05:00Anyone selling these? I've been pretty busy and don't have the time to make my own, also very beginner level sewing skills. I saw some of the pleated ones on Facebook, but it seems yall haven't been too impressed. Basically i have limited occasional contact with my grandpa and i don't want to risk him getting sick. (We might be working out how to have less contact, i have horses at his place and he knows nothing about them).
406529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-06T09:53:09.8230000-05:00They have a pup tent in the pasture?
407300083517877125121andrew51522020-04-06T10:15:51.8360000-05:00wouldn't that make it more of a foal tent?
408343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T10:53:55.5620000-05:00? I just drive out there every day currently
409263153628141977603kentamanos2020-04-06T11:05:37.0630000-05:00Just guessing, but I think they're confused about the part where you said your grandpa "knows nothing about them"? Do you mean he doesn't know how to care for the horses or their presence?👍 (1)
410300083517877125121andrew51522020-04-06T11:06:35.2460000-05:00(I think we were making jokes about how your grandpa doesn't know anything about them...like...they're just living in a tent in the pasture...well...it made me giggle, but maybe wasn't that funny...)
411263153628141977603kentamanos2020-04-06T11:07:54.7250000-05:00I read it as their presence was unknown as well at first...hehe
412300083517877125121andrew51522020-04-06T11:09:48.0710000-05:00I'd seen it mentioned somewhere that Grandpa was able to put water and/or feed into a bucket, but wasn't really able to do much beyond that, so I guess I kinda knew he was aware of their existence and less-so equipped for participating beyond the most basic food & water provision.👍 (1)
413540021655909695488michaelb52502020-04-06T11:33:29.3210000-05:00It's much more fun to imagine someone hiding a group of horses in an abandoned barn or something😄 (1)
414343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T11:34:20.4720000-05:00Ohhhh yeah.... he knows they're there. He'll pet them and feed them food and treats. They would be kinda hard to hide lol👍 (1)
415343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T11:34:50.7910000-05:00The barn is pretty old lol, but my gelding is obnoxious and loud
416529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-06T13:13:59.1680000-05:00Proof that @A. Spencer(jast) and I were separated at birth. I read the sentence as you had horses at you grandpas place but he didn’t know they were there. I gather you actually meant masks.
417529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-06T13:16:26.7570000-05:00But you gotta admit, it’s funny. I picture horses sneaking from tree to tree, fence post to fence post, being “stealth stallions”. (I once heard a presentation by a children’s book author who showed the kids slides from his home. He had a photo of his horse behind a fence post, and told the kids that the horse figured if he couldn’t see you, you couldn’t see him.)🤣 (1)
418529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-06T13:59:39.2010000-05:00I keep trying to get out of the unpaid mask-making business, but I suppose I can make a couple more. What part of metro mess do you live in? I’m in garland.
419343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T15:35:04.2170000-05:00I was looking to actually pay for them. I live in Arlington but euless seems to be a more accurate way to decided
420343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T15:35:17.9750000-05:00Describe ny location*
421343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T15:36:24.6990000-05:00i don't mind picking them up, i have to go to his place in Segoville, i could just take the long way around
422529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-06T17:27:45.4140000-05:00Meh to payment. Maybe someday i can pet your horses? Do you have color preference or dislike? I assume you want one for yourself and for your grandpa?
423343401228493127681ferricyanide74752020-04-06T17:51:19.5040000-05:00Yeah, one really likes pets and scratches. The other seems pretty meh about them but they are both would definitely say hi if you had a horse cookie (i have a big bag). It would have to be after this virus thing subsides my grandpa isn't big on having strangers over at the moment. (Normally he is a huge chatty people person that loves to talk your ear off). Yeah that would be fine. I prefer not orange or yellow but i wouldn't complain or say no if those were all you had.
424529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-06T18:13:58.8430000-05:00Clearly you are unfamiliar with fabric stashes. I have much. Of just about all colors. Well, the brown selection is limited, because, well, BROWN. Brown animals, cool. Brown hair, cool. Brown fabric, bleah.
425325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-06T18:14:33.5390000-05:00Stashes of fabric? 😱
426325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-06T18:20:40.2950000-05:00My joy right now after trying three different patterns to fit Wayne is making loops out of a sliced up T-shirts. If these loops don’t behave flipping out, they may just be serged and left showing stitches. 🤪
427300300278903734282mell.jpg2020-04-06T18:30:44.4190000-05:00Just finished the Olson one. Generally a much better fit. Thanks for the suggestion @judy Kriehn ! And while there were a few more steps to follow I think it's just as easy as the pleated ones.
428325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-06T18:31:50.0760000-05:00I’m using the craftpassion one on myself and a large Fu one on Wayne.
429325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-06T18:35:42.1290000-05:00I’ll try an Olson next just for fun 😄
430570472690541002764hardsuit2020-04-06T18:42:44.4870000-05:00Tried making a custom printed oni face artwork mask one using the inkjet printable quilting fabric. It works but it's not super breathable
431325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-06T18:44:36.1640000-05:00I’m just using iron on Pellon interfacing on each side of quilting fabric. Not perfect, but usable for us and family

That said, that is an awesome mask! Hand coloring it with intense or tsunieko would be fun.

440388916604941107200ladysandry2020-04-07T16:16:02.8930000-05:00those are great. I'm jealous of the fabric stash. I have two real options of the fabric I happen to have on hand. Cupcakes and Star Wars. Can't really get anymore either, even walmart is completely out.✌️ (1)

445325498566762299393mizgeek2020-04-07T18:27:19.8110000-05:00Yeah... it fabric and misc art supplies. As I go through it, I’ve been moving things along. I used to have two big storage units. Now a little one of the fabric and art supplies and other one has household stuff. (On family property so not paying for it.) In my defense... my exhusband drank a lot and it was expensive imported beer and fine scotch. Whenever he bought alcohol, I spent money on my addictions...
446529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-08T12:39:12.8040000-05:00@fairiecyanide - I have three masks finished for you. Do you have a foray to Seagoville planned in the near future? I could meet you in a parking lot somewhere along 635 to hand them off. Mesquite rodeo arena/Hampton Inn? Near one of the Garland exits?
447529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-08T13:28:49.5570000-05:00New comment: There were a couple of postings yesterday regarding MultiCam seeking people to do sewing. The details were vague (at best) so I sent an inquiry. It isn't a volunteer job - it's a paid piecework project. To wit: **Good morning... We are looking for people to sew sleeves on gowns for doctors and nurses in the DFW area. They can work from home $3.00 per gown We are looking to start Thursday and will provide all materials needed Also, putting together instructions on what needs to be done ** If this sounds like something you can/want to do, the contact email address is: PPE@multicam.com The person who responded to me was Corie Clifton in the HR Dept. - corie@multicam.com

451189645236908064768themitch222020-04-09T11:57:25.0310000-05:00i talked to someone there they are cuttiing the fabric on their fancy cnc cutters
452529874076752150539judykriehn37272020-04-09T16:05:26.3330000-05:00I was wondering if they had identified a cutting bit for fabric. The fashion industry has had scary-looking saw cutters driven by humans for a long time. Computer driven makes TOTAL sense.
453189645236908064768themitch222020-04-09T16:30:37.5040000-05:00there's a high rpm spinning carbide saw that cuts fabric really fast

498697535731282870303thelostone202023-11-05T18:47:49.6830000-06:00Hey is there anyone at the space that can do tailoring?
499858825682459951104dryad2b2023-11-05T23:05:04.8570000-06:00While we may have some folks who *could* do tailoring, I'm not so sure about anyone who *would* do tailoring. @AmeliaG ?
500691004712387870785shipwrek2023-11-05T23:16:39.9190000-06:00@TerryEB alterations and tailoring can be different things, do you need something done, or do you want to learn?
501697535731282870303thelostone202023-11-05T23:18:13.7000000-06:00More like something done
502858825682459951104dryad2b2023-11-06T00:04:27.1940000-06:00I'm too ADD to take on tailoring projects.
503697535731282870303thelostone202023-11-06T14:18:39.7910000-06:00So are you saying that your the one that I come to if I want something to be tailored?
504858825682459951104dryad2b2023-11-06T14:20:28.3730000-06:00I have issues finishing long projects like tailoring. Plus, my SO would pout if I were working on something that wasn't his pants and shirts. I've got a backlog of promised things there.
505697535731282870303thelostone202023-11-06T17:57:22.2190000-06:00Oh ok do you know anyone else I can go to, to reshape or alter to size of coats and pants?
