Sewing 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.

So 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.

Cannot 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!

The 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!

I 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. 😃

It’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.

It just needs to be organized well. Like my home sewing room, go vertical as much as possible. Let no open space lay fallow. 😁

Larry 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.

[7/12/2019 6:35 PM] judykriehn3727
|

So. 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?
|
||
|
||
|
||
[7/13/2019 1:06 PM] mizgeek
|
||
I 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.

One of the pair of ballasts are likely out for the 3 fixtures with partial light

|
||
the 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.

|

if 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

I’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.

the wire is difficult to source - tombstones prefer 18ga or less which the likes of Home Despot don't stock in solid-core

Metal 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

We 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

Just so I can make budgeting prognostications, how much $$ should I plan for to do four fixtures and outfit with new tubes?

Ask Chris Marlow or Steve Blanchard. Orders were last done through them

[7/23/2019 11:01 AM] nullinterface
|
||
tubes can be had for ~$10 each, tombstones <$1 each and wire perhaps $0.20 worth per fixture
|
||
|
||
|

~$45 per fixture is a lower-end estimate

@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...
|
||
|
||
|
||
[8/27/2019 8:48 AM] lavarocks.
|
||
Yes, 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[8/27/2019 8:48 AM] lavarocks.

It isn't intimidating, it is just a lot of steps

[8/27/2019 8:56 AM] andrew5152
|
||
OK. 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... 😊

As 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.

Kris had donated a bunch of thread. It was sitting in a beat up cardboard box. So I sorted out the existing serger cones by color and stashed them in plastic bins, then put two bins I had bought at IKEA on impulse and sorted the smaller spools into those. Yay me.

When 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.

Replacing? No, the ping pong table was missing two of four feet/levelers on the legs. 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

M12 = metric, 12mm (major diameter, measured on the outside of the threads)
|

1.75 = 1.75 threads per mm

I get the diameter, and i assume it could be determined with a micrometer. Preferably one that hasn’t been utilized as a clamp. but How the thread size knowledge happens?

My method is looking at the pictures. Or comparing something I’ve removed with options at the hardware store.

could measure them, but mainly you grab the thread gauge thing and see which one it screws into

baring that, a wrench set and thread gauge set will get most fasteners measured. Use the wrenches slipped over the threads to find the major diameter, then the thread gauge set to figure the pitch

Purchase 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.

Made 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.

Low-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.

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.

In the Studio: Memories of a Bernina
|

When I was 6 years old, my father bought my mother a wonderful gift for Christmas - a Bernina Sewing Machine. My mother loved to sew and prior to her Bernina, she had a trusty black Singer sewing machine that she used often. My father knew that she would enjoy a top-of-the-li...

|
||
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...

In 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.

Well, 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.

Hi. 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.

The 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.

I 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.

Amanda 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.

Allegedly, 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.

Looking at other designs, this one is intriguing, as it *appears* to make the double-fold bias in a single step.

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.

I’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.

General 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[4/5/2020 7:41 PM] judykriehn3727
|
||
Flannel 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[4/5/2020 7:42 PM] judykriehn3727

No woven interfacing (pellon, for example) is also recommended as a good liner.

While 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.

If 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.

I 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.

I'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.

But 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.)

Yeah, 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.

those 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.

Yeah... 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...

@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?

New 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

i talked to someone there they are cuttiing the fabric on their fancy cnc cutters
|

|

|
||
[4/9/2020 4:05 PM] judykriehn3727
|

I 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.
|
||
|
||
|

[4/9/2020 4:30 PM] themitch22

there's a high rpm spinning carbide saw that cuts fabric really fast

I got a note from a different person today. They have photos, samples, etc. (today was day one of the stitching frenzy). They are specifically looking for overlocking - aka serger users. @Hardsuit ?

We're planning on throwing up a stream on TWITCH to show how to sew a fitted face mask Saturday night at 8pm Central (9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific). I'll start from scratch and go through my full cutting and sewing setup for the pattern I've chosen to use. Search for eight_bit_dreams and join the chat

I think I.’m gonna tackle one of these, except use those big plastic curtain grommets for the eyes. And maybe not do all the tiny piecing. Looks like it’s basically about six overall pieces.

might msg Beth (dryad2b) on Talk. As CA chair and Sewing SIG leader, she can give more accurate picture of what's needed. Usually the training is pertinent to the particulars of the equipment @ the 'space, rather than sewing specific.

4 12”x12”, 1/2” thick cork tiles that could sit on the Half ping pong table in the sewing room.

Costs $15 before tax and covers 4 sqft. The half-table is 22.5 sqft => would require 5.625 packs of 4 to cover => would cost a total of $90 to purchase 6 packs of cork tiles to cover the half-table 👀🤔

While we may have some folks who *could* do tailoring, I'm not so sure about anyone who *would* do tailoring. @AmeliaG ?

@TerryEB alterations and tailoring can be different things, do you need something done, or do you want to learn?

I 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.
