lol, fail

deadfall - 2012-08-13 10:23:00

that page was getting to long to scroll down on.

dilligaf_dah - 2012-08-13 10:23:00

Are you a modern cloth nappy maker deadfall?
Have you found the crayons now Coalie, have you tried the fridge or the washing basket - amazing how many times I find my car keys in the peg bag!
I notice that Coalie and Jumbo did not mention putting any men on the ark...that suits me just fine lol!

wee5 - 2012-08-13 10:29:00

Nah, havn't gotten into selling nappies although I do make them for my girls.
Just baby bits and piece, bibs, wheatbags, toys, skirts etc

deadfall - 2012-08-13 10:31:00

Wow coalie...that looks great and I have to say there are some pretty cool grave rubbings...Home sweet home could be one of them!!
Mmmmm 29 yards of lovely soft fabric to stroke and smell and rub your nose in. Heaven!!

jumbobon - 2012-08-13 10:32:00

jumbo, stay out of that fabric, you know you get addicted. But deadfall that is one heck of a lot. Didn't know that the South Island had a birth growth. Jokes aside, nice to see you here and we like to see some pics of the items that you make. Dilli as for the coffee, that was me, couldn't wait and that mug was just standing there and said, drink me, so I did.
Do you girls know that Spotlight has 30% of crafts and fabrics etc today, they are open till 8pm, now that will get you all salivating.

skippie1 - 2012-08-13 12:52:00

Well yea, but it made more sense to get that amount shipping wise, and about 6 yards is for pre ordered xmas pillow cases.. haha listen to me trying to justify it!

Now, who can give me advice on embroidery machines? I want the brother pe500... because its cheap lolbut also looks good

deadfall - 2012-08-13 14:21:00

coalie, just catching up on your photos of the dolls & the clothes, they are fabulous & love the free motion stitching. Didn't know that you were into grave rubbings! Do you wait for the full moon nights?

deadfall, if you are serious about an embroidery machine, don't buy cheap, cheap. Check out the net to get feed back on the different types. I'm Bernina 180 through & through.

bhs47 - 2012-08-13 15:59:00

Finished Xmas table runner, even has a label to be sewn down.

Sew what next?

bhs47 - 2012-08-13 16:11:00

b the table runner is lovely I like it.
Jugs on for afters drinks. or before dinner which ever suits you.
me needs a few coffees

dilligaf_dah - 2012-08-13 16:35:00

Love the table runner, wow!

This one I can get for $299 usd down from $599 usd, with conversion, shipping and import tax (stupid tax) its $560nzd.
My aim is to use it till Ive made enough profit to onsell it and buy a better one

deadfall - 2012-08-13 17:51:00

I'm with b on machines. Try them out, check up on followup in case of peoblems and listen to them. It sounds silly but I reckon if a machine sounds rough it probably is!
B...LOVE LOVE LOVE the quilting on the table runner...clever OLD you!!
Well I went to Spotlight and spent just over $50. Shhh. Don't tell anyone. Three metres of fabric, a watercolour pad, some pens and a bag.
Whatcha been up to?

jumbobon - 2012-08-13 18:20:00

B, Gorgeous Xmas runner, love it, esp the free form quilting.
Deadfall, go and check the machines out in the shop and look at the quality of embroidery that you end up with, also ease of use. Then of course how much is it to buy the patterns, do you need to use your own computer to talk to the machine, is your computer brain big enough to cope with the system you are looking at. I am also a Bernina girl and have the Aurora 440. Heaps to learn and I don't use it as much as I thought. But then it might still come.

skippie1 - 2012-08-13 18:41:00

jumbo less of the OLD remember I'm 65 yrs young.......lol I am very pleased with the quilting & wish I had a few more UFOs finished so that while I'm on a roll with free motion I could keep praticing.

bhs47 - 2012-08-13 18:42:00

Uh hum, I also went to Spotlight and must say I nearly spend double then what jumbo did, but in my defence I bought a little pair of scissors and they were expensive, I hope that is a good enough excuse.

Been thinking over your thread & the others can correct me if I'm wrong. Have you checked the wattage on this machine? Will it work with the NZ electrical code & if not what would it cost to convert it?
A good reasonable priced embroidery machine can be found right here on TradeMe, just a case of keeping an eye on the auctions. Good luck with whatever buy.

bhs47 - 2012-08-13 19:42:00

B are you meaning the different plug ? i bought a janome on here it had an american plug ( the seller had never used it she had it on display so was in brand new condition ) hubby bought a little plug that the american one plugs into it works great i used it once ( sewing machines are so very different from each other and im used to my little one not this one )

coalrange1 - 2012-08-13 19:52:00

just adding its a gorgeous looking machine, it was $20 buynow but it was pick up only from south island ...anyways talked seller into sending it to me, she had never sent anything anywhere before and sent it overnight courier ! eek yup that was expensive LOL but still a good buy and a great machine. better go, ive blabbed aye haha im drawing quilting designs, deciding what to do.

coalrange1 - 2012-08-13 20:00:00

Skippie dragged Jumbobon off to the Spotlight "sale". Then JB went back to the scene with daughter later this evening. Tomorrow I'm declaring myself "bankrupt"! Muttley.

jumbobon - 2012-08-13 20:58:00

hahahaha

coalrange1 - 2012-08-13 21:04:00

nope sorry if i put you wrong its not an embroidery machine just a gorgeous looking sewing machine.
Muttley are they home yet, you do realise the longer they are away the more stash they will have hahaha

coalrange1 - 2012-08-13 21:22:00

Not guilty your Honour, I only went to Spotlight once, today. As said before, jumbo has a fabric addiction, she just can't help herself. But in hindsight I do know why she went back, she must have bought the shop empty. Hehehehehe.

skippie1 - 2012-08-13 21:57:00

got a text from Jumbo she didnt buy the shop empty she bought the shop she needs the tractor to tow it home haha

No your honour...I didn't touch him. He must have ummmm slipped...
DD and I had a great time tonight. She bought heaps of linen at extremely awesome prices. I bought a pair of sheets and some fabric (gulp) but only 3 meteres...not 29 like somebody else here!!
Sleep well. Muttley is!!!

jumbobon - 2012-08-13 23:05:00

Morning all...breakfast is ready and waiting.
No bruises on muttley who had a most restful night...which just goes to prove that a brick in a wet sock doesn't leave a mark!!
Have a grrrrrreat day....

jumbobon - 2012-08-14 06:58:00

Is it SAFE to come and have brekkie jumbo "bricks in wet socks" dont sound to safe hheheheheheheeeeee

dilligaf_dah - 2012-08-14 07:59:00

Muttley, Muttley..................are you awake?

wee5 - 2012-08-14 08:10:00

Morning all,thanks for breakfast Jumbo, might have to check and see how Mutley is. Looks like a reasonable day out there, I have to try and tidy my sewing room, looks like a bom has hit it.
Have all a great and creative day.

skippie1 - 2012-08-14 09:02:00

coalrange1 - 2012-08-14 12:44:00

dont worry about how much you bought deadfall, im green as hahaha na im not really but tis better to buy lots, there may be a strike somewhere or a disaster and then what, theres adverts on tv that tells us to 'be prepared' and you are well almost a few more meters wouldnt hurt :)
the title of this thread says it all :)
i darent even peek at fabric.com ......na im not going to ...... hehe

coalrange1 - 2012-08-14 21:15:00

hehe, its terribly addictive and SOO much cheaper than in NZ.
I like that, Im prepared for natural disaster - now to get a generator so I can still sew without power

deadfall - 2012-08-14 21:17:00

Hi Shell, hugs for L. are you crocheting ?
my Mum crochets alllll the time she makes blankets with squares, she has found the feathers etc kind of wool looks lovely mixed with ordinary wool in the blankets.

Edited by coalrange1 at 9:19 pm, Tue 14 Aug

coalrange1 - 2012-08-14 21:17:00

deadfall, you buy that generator and guess what, we will all be at your house if a disaster should happen.
Something else re fabric, if we should get a atomic winter we can keep warm with all our fabrics, hahahaha, hope it never happens.
