Spotlight: Alternative January Kanzashi While the yearly kanzashi are always in the spotlight, it’s important not to forget the kanzashi that the maiko of Kamishichiken and Gion Higashi wear too. Often featuring the same design elements as the other kagai, they’re unique in that they don’t need to feature kangiku as a base. They still use the same motifs that the other kagai pull from, but they feature them in unique combinations. The kanzashi above feature the following motifs: Kanzashi #1 Cranes (鶴), Pine (松), and Plum Blossoms (梅) Kanzashi #2 Folding Fans (扇子) and Pine (松) Kanzashi #3 Battledores (羽子板), Pine Needles (松葉), and Plum Blossoms (梅) Kanzashi #4 Bobbins (糸巻), Plum Blossoms (梅), and Pine (松) Kanzashi #5 Plum Blossoms (梅), Pine Needles (松葉), and Pine (松) Kanzashi #6 Cranes (鶴) and Pine (松) All images are courtesy of Gion Dteel Product [1] [2].

Hey fun fact if you buy plastic bobbins for your sewing machine and Despite Being The Right Fucking Size You Checked Four Times, they are a lil too big and stick in the machine?

You can totally just sand them down a wee bit, worked great

#sewing #bobbins #little buggers are sized for my brother but will they fit?? nope #and it’s two sets in a row #the bloody 11.5mm #class 15 standardised my ass #it’s the teeniest tiniest lil rim that didn’t get finished off

A parliamentary committee set up to explore the wage gap in 1840 heard from a handloom weaver from Stockport:

Joseph Sherwin . . . usually earned 6s 6d a week, and his wife 3s by winding bobbins for two other looms. However, he failed to subtract from his wage, and add to hers, the value of her winding services for his loom. Mrs Sherwin received for winding 3d out of every 1s earned by each of the two weavers who hired her services; each of these weavers, then, earned only 9d for every 1s worth of cloth. Since she could wind for three looms (her husband's plus two others), Mrs Sherwin could earn the same amount as these two weavers (9d = 3 x 3d). Joseph Sherwin admitted 'I must pay three-pence out of every shilling, if I had no wife.'

His true wage, then, was only 4s 10d, and his wife's true wage was 4s 7½d. What by his statement appeared to be a wage ratio of 0.46 (3s / 6s 6d) turns out to be, in truth, almost equal wages. If the wage data that we have overstate male earnings and understate female earnings, then there may be no wage gap to explain.

A Tug of War! Bobbins Get Set, Then Go!

Think of the top thread and the bottom thread on your sewing machine as having a tug of war. If the threads are identical and you are sewing on a single layer of fabric, both sides have equal strength and the result will be a draw.

However, in the real world, the teams are rarely equal. One team will be stronger or bigger or faster than the other. We use decorative threads on top. We often use different fibers for the top and bottom threads. We also add stabilizer or batting to our projects. Sometimes we might use a cotton bobbin thread and other times we use a polyester bobbin thread. All these factors make it necessary t adjust the tension for each project.

By adjusting the top tension either up or down, we are able to add or take away strength on the top thread team to equalize the tug of war battle. How much to loosen or tighten the tension depends on your machine. Experiment with new settings until you get the desired results.

Hi! I’m doing my first larger project (about 90x90 stitches, full-ish coverage). I haven’t made any shitpost cross stitches yet but I do love them very much and plan on it in the future. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to do a bigger project without getting overwhelmed or losing motivation (especially because I have a deadline, it’s for my girlfriend’s birthday). Also, what do you recommend for how to store the leftover threads that aren’t a whole six strands? It seems like they’d be perfectly good to use in future projects if they’re long enough and I would feel bad just throwing them away lol. Thank you!

Prism is absolutely unqualified to answer this. She specifically works in small patterns because otherwise they will never, ever, be finished. Fry does more varied work and unless there's a specific deadline, suprisingly having a few projects to bounce back and forth on seems to work the best. It keeps it from getting too burnt out on just the same item. As for floss bits there are specific types of bobbins and keepers that will hold the extra strands if they're still workable length. Fry suggests:

And the questions goes out into the void, if anyone has tried and true ways to stay on task, feel free to add in!

New year, new large cross stitch project - 4 Seasons of faerie babes.

Made up some new bobbins out of old scrapbooking offcuts this morning as well as the start I made last night with the colours I have to hand. Might have changed up the hair colour a little, cause if you're an Autumn faerie and still can't go for chestnut locks, when can you?

Then to the store to get the colours I didn't already have for this project. And now, finally, everything's assembled for my next block of cross stitching time.

Satisfying. Time for a cuppa.

New piece! Am calling her “Skör” (fragile in Swedish).

Assembled from strips of lace, a doily, and some fiddly needle lace and crochet for the teeth. Starched with diluted wood glue.

Perfect in time for Halloween!
