Struggling to Quilt your Quilt after you have all the pieces put together?
Many do the Stitch-in-the-Ditch Method. I know that even with the special Stitch-in-the-Ditch foot or a Walking Foot (see pictures) and going slow it can still be a struggle to stay in the Ditch. (Link to a Tutorial below)
Have you tried the Quilt-as-you-Go Method? It's so much easier than trying to quilt a whole quilt after it's been pieced together. With this method you make your blocks, add the batting, do the quilting, then you put all the blocks together. This method can also be done in panels. (Link to a Tutorial below)
However, if you don't want to do the Quilt-as-you-Go Method, I suggest doing a Fancy Straight Line Quilting. You still following the seam, like you do when Stitching in the Ditch but you do a Fancy Stitch instead of a Straight Line Stitch. It can be just a zig zag stitch if your machine doesn't have any nice fancy stitches. You should be able to vary the size of your zig zag. With this method, if you don't get your line perfectly straight, it's ok. No one will notice.

A Stitch-in-the-Ditch Foot, a Walking Foot and most others, can be found on Amazon, Walmart and other online shops.
Note: You do not use either of these machine feet to do a Fancy Straight Line Stitch. Use your normal 1/2" seam or All-Purpose Foot, just be sure the whole in the foot is the right size for the stitch you wish to use. I have broke many needles from having the wrong foot on my machine when doing fancy stitches!

It's quick, it's easy, and it's no more likely to fail than anything else I've tried—smashing my sewing machine with a fucking hammer
#i am so fucking sick of this shit Halloween is in 2 days and my costume isn't done#because this piece of shit makes everything take 3x longer than it needs to. i can't fucking go on like this#ive had it serviced ive adjusted the tension the presser foot got a new bobbin casing#it doesn't work and i would like to smash it

I wanted to use up the rest of the clips I had so I have some clips already made next time someone asks me for them, so I whipped up the rest of what I had clips for!
#crafts#description in alt text#sewing#pacifier clips#trans crafter#trans sewist#ps don't start making these if you don't want to make them for the rest of your life#even when i wasn't sewing because the foot i used to use for the presser foot has nerve damage i was still asked about them#“when are you going to start sewing again i need some more pacifier clips”#bonus: they are literally the most used most loved new baby gift i have ever given#evidenced by the fact that the people ive gifted them to ask for more when they wear out#even if they get store-bought ones too!#it's because these ones are more easily washable than store-bought clips#anyways i buy the clips on amazon (something like “pacifier clips” or “diy pacifier clips” finds them)#and then this is just jelly roll fabric strips (2.5“) cut to 9” then sewn in half#sew a loop of 1/8“ ribbon into one end and sew the clip onto the other#so if you're looking for a relatively quick and easy thing to make for a new baby this is something that is very much loved by most parents#i can go into more details if anyone wants but it really is easy to make

Just saw a sewing advice post that ended with "the sewing machine can't hurt you" and I just want to point out that the sewing machine can very much hurt you, and would like to even. Maybe you'll never sew your hand on accident but you are moving a needle hundreds of times per minute at incredible mechanical speed and those things can break if you're not diligent about the condition of your machine's tension, of the needle itself, or if you forgot to switch to a heavier needle when using heavier fabrics.

Sewing is so good
#my personal sewing machine lives at work until we get a work sewing machine#but my sister dropped her machine off at home for me to ‘fix’#it wasn’t actually broken she was just using a giant cone of thread#and it kept catching on the little notch cut into the spool#so since this machine isn’t designed for cone thread and it was getting stuck on the spool itself it was just wreaking havoc on the tension#so now I’m working on the skirt that I was hand sewing because I need to redo the waistband#and it’s going so nice and smooth#it’s also basically the first machine I’ve used other than mine#which I inherited from my nana#she taught me to sew on it 17 years ago and it’s still doing just fine#it’s at least as old as I am#but my sisters is a new singer#and it still has all the same functions for the most part#but the layout is WEIRD#the presser foot lever is on the back not in the harp#so you either have to use your left hand (and I am not a lefty so it’s awkward)#or reach through the harp and to the back#which is also awkward#also it doesn’t have an automatic threader which is a real shame#because that’s one of my favorite things about my machine#now this one does have an led light so it’s definitely easier to thread the needle because it’s better illuminated than the incandescent#that mine has#but still#nothing beats an automatic threader

in regards to the time when i was playing video games with my brother and i cheated. (i thought i was soooo sneaky) ((i wasnt))
#caught in the act#this was my fibers final!#i did the entire thing on my sewing machine without a presser foot!#partly because i wanted to learn how to use my sewing machine#the other part because the presser foot was mysteriously missing#so its a little weird but i like it#also my cat LOVED sitting on this while i was working on it#art#painting#weird art#acrylic#acrylic paint#acrylic painting#purple#quilt#sewing

It's a Juki TL-2000Qi semi-industrial sewing machine and it can probably sew through solid steel.
It does exactly two things, a forward straight stitch and a backward straight stitch, and you'll be GODDAMN grateful it even lets you do that. You want to do zig zags? Get fucked.
Threading it takes about 10 steps and feels like trying to defuse a bomb. It's got a side fed bobbin case that takes an additional 3 or 4 steps to thread. If it's not sharp or strong enough, it'll snap through a heavy duty needle and without even slowing down, no matter stopping, sending the tip flying through the air at speeds capable of sending a piece of straw through a telephone pole. It's compatible with exactly 0 of any other parts from any other brand machine except sometimes needles and it has a palpable air of bloodlust surrounding it.
But it'll sew through 4 layers of denim like a hot knife through butter.
to be honest I think working on a sewing machine strains my eyes as much as being on a computer does. However, I am incentivized to remain alert and focused by keeping my fingers within stabbing distance of a needle making 60 stitches per minutes.
#also it has a knee lever for the presser foot so you can raise or lower it with your knee#which is nice#I use it for pleather and really thick fleece#or faux fur

@zmbienoir hiiii i usually wait to send u these once you wake up but i'm actually going to be out for most of 2day (shocking i know) so i figured it'd be best to just send it now ^_^
i wouldn't exactly say teddy hyde's a small artist considering how well one of his previous albums, "sock-footed" did, particularly on tiktok, plus how many monthly listeners he has. but it fr pains me that the same ppl that listen to that album haven't heard this one ("splittsville") because it's genuinely a fucking masterpiece imo 😭 his lyrics have such good wordplay n double-meanings/interpretations, and his instrumentals are always amazing
if you wanna i'd recommend listening to the whole album (or at least the songs with lyrics), but if not, i think this song is a pretty good standalone :]
#song recs#my other favs off splittsville r “terry's taxidermy” & “channel 01 clown”#OH AND “presser diamond co”#one of the lyrics in my bio is actually from terry's taxidermy btw#the other is from “zero_one” by the living tombstone :3#and if ur curious my favs off sock-footed are “you can put your dukes down stringbean” & “freedom”#& “an open letter to a ruby-shoed pixie”#“i don't think about you that much.... just all the time” (/lyr) lives in my mind rent free.....

My sewing machine is just straight up missing some stuff. The thing that holds the presser foot fell off while I was sewing (I almost shat myself by the way) and I read ye old manual to figure out what to do. Told me to search for a disk screw driver and I did and it does not exist along with other thing I found out just we’re not there for my poor sewing machine. So anyways I’m using a penny now and it gets the job done.
I’ve thought about contacting customer support or something because this is slightly ridiculous but the machine was a gift and sat unused for four years so I don’t know if I could get anything but an awkward email
#haz text#sewing woes#if I had a nickel for every part i was missing I’d have at least two nickels and maybe more I haven’t noticed yet#I’m also missing big spool cover#Looked at the manual again and im definitely missing more than two things#I have all the presser foots though

anyway if i only take out the stitching for the channels going one way then it wont become a huge finicky mess. i can split all the existing channels in half + pour in enough for one pocket, do that for all 32 channels, shake to the bottom, sew an opposite direction channel to seal it in, then repeat and just do that 32 times total

uh i definitely didn't forget that i wanted to do all my topstitching in contrast thread, no this was entirely intentional..........
anyway aside from that, ive pretty much assembled the corset as far as i can right now! this particular bit is the back lacing section, i freehanded all of this and i think i did pretty good!
#i need to press all my seams and then im waiting on supplies for this i think#dndnnd freehanded it makes it sound a bit wilder than it is- coutil is striped and also creases real easy#so i folded it; sewed the 1st line the width of my presser foot; did the next 15mm away and then pre creased the folded edge and THEN#i winged it; just trying to stay on the edge of the fabric and also parallel to the previous line#nyxtalks#nyx sews#sewing#i think im back on the quilt for a little bit but im gonna hit a wall with that too at some point soon#and when i do i am going to be a good little sew-er and tidy up my sewing supplies :)
