Hey buddy!!! I have a few embroidery hoops, needles and thread, but aside from YouTube, nobody I know nearby does it often enough to give firsthand experience. I embroidered a thatch of lavender and a little bee on one of my battlejacket pockets, but it was with regular thread and a regular needle. Can you offer any insight when it comes to the actual hoops themselves, what material works best, any insider tips?

So I’m not a regular embroiderer because it hurts my hands really easy, but I AM a moron who does everything the hard way first so I do have some tips:

If you’re using regular thread, it will help the design if you a) use an embroidery needle [I think you can get them separate from other sewing supplies for like a buck or two, and I recommend getting some kind of needle polisher as well bc then it will last 538463936472 years] and double up the thread 2-3 times to bulk it up and 2) use a smaaaalll bit of glue mixed with water [or spit, I’ve done that too] to twist together the threads along their length. It just helps them go through smoother and lay flatter with less overall fiddling, and if you use School glue or spit it will wash out 👍

If you’re using bulk dollar store quality embroidery thread, you have to be *gentle as fuck* with it while youre working the design. So, work patiently in small sections and try not to yank it too much, just generally be aware that its not gonna stand much abuse until it’s actually stitched in. Also, it’s totally possible to take a pulled end, tie more on, and keep on a-truckin - just make sure you pull a few previous stitches to get to a more sturdy bit, and tie it real close so you’re not trying to pull the knot thru. It’s strength when pulled on leaves something to be desired, but it IS infinitely cheaper than buying every color ever individually for a few bucks each, so pick your poison on that one. If you wanna use good thread basically you need to have planning skills and the patience to wait till stores are open to drive out and go get shit, neither of which I have :D

As for hoops, they are So, So helpful oh my god. You can use them for darning, you can use them for embroidery, you can use them for cross-stitch, you can use scrap fabric to make patches, you can even use them to hold fabric taut to hand-stitch on patches if you need to.

Basically, If you need fabric to stay where the fuck you put it while you work, an embroidery hoop is a godsend. Most are also pretty adjustable - though you may have trouble using them with really really thick or stiff fabrics like fur or denim seams. in those cases you can always use scrap fabric to embroider your design, and then iron on or sew on your new patch.

In order to use one, you just need a bit of fabric that can reach to every curve of the hoop. you place your inner hoop under the fabric, plop your untightened outer hoop over it, and then tighten it up. in order to make the fabric taut, you can leave the hoop a liiiitle loose, and then pull at the fabric till it feels kind of like a drum. then tighten the outer hoop as far as it'll go :D Once youve done that, youre good to go.

I'd advise sketching your design in chalk/charcoal/pencil/washable marker before starting, and if you feel like it you can also mark out a grid pattern of dots using a ruler to keep your stitches the same length, but thats not super necessary.

As for fabrics that work best for embroidery, tight-woven felt is a nice backing for patches but you will struggle to get a clear sketch of your design. Cotton is gonna be easiest to use for a sketch, but its gonna be flimsier. If you can layer both inside the hoop, that would probably work out pretty well, tbh. I wouldnt use stretchy fabrics if you can help it- the resulting patch will likely shrink and the fabric itself is going to be difficult to work with especially if you arent using more expensive thread or a sharp, polished needle.

TLDR: Bulk up your normal thread and smooth it with watery glue, use an embroidery needle and make sure it stays polished, embroidery hoops are lovely, make any threadwork easier, and work best on non-stretchy fabric like denim, cotton, non-spandex poly blend, plastic leather, and probably natural leather if its thin enough.

#:Disclaimer: i am by no means an expert and get all my supplies from the dollar store and walmart bc i have no money #i dont know what a serger is and at this point im too scared to ask #i dont have a cutting table that is called my kitchen floor #pfff gl king honestly. sewing is like 60% fuck around and find out and 40% if you can get a sewing machine do that and make it an old one #bc they are BEASTS that WILL OUTLIVE YOU and also hate you but its okay if you give them blood sacrifice now and then #OH! and i havent gotten around to using mine yet but they DO sell teeny tiny sewing machines that look like staplers #they work like staplers too #i found mine for like 5 buckos off the bezos site #but you can probably find them elsehwere its jsut that bezos actually gets stuff to me and most other marketplaces dont

Sorry to weeb out a bit but honest to god, JJK Season 2 Ep17 is probably one of my most rewatched anime episodes... ever? And seeing the Blu-Ray version is actually so fucking good. I can't overstate how much I love the choreography in this episode oh my GOD ESPECIALLY THE SCENES THEY ADDED...

The standoff between Makora and Sukuna mid-air, Sukuna adding fake slashes mid-fight and Makora falling for it by guarding when nothing happened (😭), Makora using it's cut off body to catch itself after regenerating (I don't know how to describe this), THE TOP VIEW OF MAKORA'S WHEEL WHILE IT'S SHIT GETS KICKED IN, Makora SHADOWBOXING, and the scene of Sukuna and Makora fighting in a building (I think a train station?) and being kicked so hard that it's sent flying all the way up to the top building, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN IMPACT INSIDE THE BUILDING IN THE ORIGINAL AIRING. CHEWING MY PILLOW

I haven't even begun to talk about the stylization of Sukuna's Malevolent Kitchen, GOD I love the use of reds and blacks and whites good god

I'm just saying, if I was younger or if this came out during my high school years, I probably would've pushed myself to become an animator because good lord I love LOVE the animation in this season so fucking much, I LOVE ANIMATIONNNNN

#https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCG7D4wy7Fg if u wanna see what im talking abt #they added more scenes than this but its so hard finding a clean one that ISNT FUCKING 60 FPS I HATE YOU PEOPLE WHO DO THAT #idgaf if its mahoraga or malevolent shrine. malevolent kitchen makes more sense for his silly ass using kitchen terms #like the anim was so fucking good that gege incorporated the move where he slashes midair while flying beside a skyscraper in the manga #im caught up w the manga btw unfortunately #im the only weeb in my 3 friend groups its actually so depressing #jjk spoilers #jujutsu kaisen spoilers #etc

Recipe sites have such a weird definition of "easy"

#like I'm actually a very good cook #but I'm looking for ways to avoid being in the kitchen 60-90 minutes a night #all of these 'easy' recipes involve so much prep

[plaintoast]

i love stardew valley!!!!!! i only play it like once every year or two but i put like 80 hours into it in like three weeks when i do

#marrying alex for the first time this playthrough #he just agreed to get more serious with me and my kitchen was just finished #to be clear i do NOT min/max sdv when i play that sounds so stressful #i keep like 4 crops per season and spend 60% of my time fishing #i almost have enough wood for me to get a barn tho :3 #which of my mutuals wants 2 hop in my dms to talk about this tbh

Happy Stabby Day!

These are my knives :)

Chef knives

Features: My favorite darlings, and honestly the ones I wanted to talk about. These are Zwilling Pro, 38417-180 and 38401-180, and it makes me happy they are from Zwilling because they are twins. On the right is a standard chopping chef knife. Note the deep base after the handle, straight belly, and pointed tip in case you need any sharp stabbing motion - though if you're doing much of that, you want another knife. It has a gorgeous heavy chopping sound as you work through an onion, or even a butternut squash.

On the left is my beautiful freaky nerd of a chef knife. It can in principle do anything the chef knife can do, but it's really made for mincing. Note the rounded belly and strange angle at the tip - the belly makes it rock on the cutting board, just a bit, so it's perfect for things like mincing garlic, and the tip changes the weight and makes it readily identifiable. I adore this knife.

Lesson: Learn whether you are a chopper or a slicer in the kitchen, and choose your knives accordingly.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: Not a chance. These are made for chopping on a cutting board, and they would not stab in a satisfying fashion.

Hyacinths knife

Features: Wide girth, nearly straight blade, excellent weight if you want to julienne vegetables which Hyacinth frequently does, and the key feature: the rounded bottom edge at the 'point', which allows him to scoop. The slight rounding on the blade allows rocking similar to my twins, but the overall flatness allows him to chop big things in a straight motion whereas mine can only chop. He's also a big fan of the width of the blade for scooping finished products and carrying them on the top.

His actual favorite is a really terrible older knife his grandma gave him, same shape bit a wider yet blade and a more exaggerated rounded end, which doesn't keep its sharpness and the handle keeps falling off.

Lesson: Fancy nice knives keep their edge better.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: No It doesn't have anything like a stabbing point. Unless you want to chop Caesar up after stabbing him, this is not the right tool.

Meat knives

Features: Long, narrow blades slice better. If you're a slicer, you want a chef knife that is closer to this shape. I abandon my beloved knives for these fellows when I'm turning large pieces of meat into bite-size chunks, especially if it's chicken. Slicers move better through meat than choppers, and the sharp point helps you get that initial grip.

Honestly I'm not actually a knife person and I don't know what the difference between these shapes is. Chime in if you know!

Lesson: Slicers work better for meat.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: This would be my knife of choice if concealment were not an object. Nice sharp point, fine slicing blade, works great on meat - my only concern would be if the violence and stabbing would damage a long blade, or even break it.

Paring knives

Features: Short flat blades for a lot of easy control and leverage. These are fruit-and-cheese knives, where you can hold the object and the knife in your hands and work with them without a surface. Or with one! Detail work, peeling an apple... they also are just smaller and seem easier to clean, so I pull them out for small tasks. (The black one is a Wüsthof we've had since I was a child, and dirty from cutting cheese.)

For a tomato, mind, you'll want either a very sharp knife, or a serrated knife. Cheap bread knife does wonders on that slippy tomato skin.

Lesson: Short knives give more control and enable airborne cutting

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: Absolutely, if concealment were an issue. Almost all of the advantages of the meat knives above, with much reduced power, but very easy to hide up a sleeve. You could even let it be visible if you're carrying, say, an apple - there's a presumable use here.

Swiss army knife Patrick's dad gave me

Features: ...everything? Downsides: nothing works perfectly. But it's got short blade, long blade, saw blade, tin opener, bottle opener, wine opener, tweezers (barely visible, with the gray hilt by the toothpick), toothpick, fishing? hook?, scissors... If there's more I just haven't found it yet.

Lesson: If you lose your pocket knives constantly, you are allowed to get another one. Knives pass into our lives and out of them - in the case of Julius Caesar, sometimes very rapidly.

Would I Take it to the Senate in 44 BC: I'd have it on me already in case the occasion arose!

#ides of march #long post #honestly the best and most exciting thing you can do is go to a fancy kitchen store #and ask them to let you try all their knives and see what works best for you #even if you don't buy anything then it's such a great trip #don't be like my grandmother and wait until your eighties for your grandchild to take you #and find out you've been using the wrong knife style for >60 years #even the cheap ceramic knives I got her when I was a student were revolutionary

i am gonna continue to draw so many cool homes!! (its not Done yet, but I've been scouring Zillow all morning and for at least 3 days straight. I am having So Much Fun!!!) (i know the art isn't wonderful but I had a vision and I'd say it turned out sorta okay!?)

#my art #homes #cheaper house #not a dream home exactly #i just like the way the kitchens are in these houses #and the dining and living areas #obsessed with the 60s to early 90s homes #i know thats a huge range

[vanishingmoments]

i dont hate my brother in the sense of wishing ill will on him but i hate him in the sense that i want him to stop being an inconsiderate asshole and an idiot.

#stop eating like 5 fucking meals a day other people in this house need to have food to eat too and you're not michael phelps #stop letting out loud groans when you take a shit as if nobody else is there to hear it #stop leaving smudges of random things all over the kitchen because you cant be bothered to keep your hands clean while cooking #stop walking around the house with the heaviest footsteps you can possibly have #stop asking me to buy you shit that costs like $60 for your birthday and for christmas i dont even have a god damn job

I love realism but writing it is soooooo hard

#every few seconds having to suppress the thought ''what if this scene was really fucking weird and made no sense'' #the thing I'm currently writing was supposed to be inspired by 60s kitchen sink realism and I'm a decent way through it but #will i be able to finish it like that....... #''please let me include one psychedelic fever dream scene pleeeaassseee'' NO BRAIN BE QUIET #ramble #window gazing

This animation class is kicking my ass but I made a dancing llama and that is all that matters.

#early retirement things #in pursuit of arting better #only fifty more years until i have enough patience to animate bering and wells #lol jk that is not happening by my hand #the point here was to create an animated symbol instead of an animated symbol on top of a looping background and #the background loop is where my brain fumbles because i'm sure there is some easier way to do this but i am mostly figuring it out on my ow #because the instructor is very much the “i won't insult your intelligence by assuming you don't know everything i'm talking about already” #ype and i am like “no please explain it to me like i am five” #also their subtitles cover the area of Animate where all the frames are so i cannot even see what they're doing half the time #plus working 60 hours a week because im trying to be rich lol #did i mention my kitchen is still under construction #its fine and im sure the universe has a plan but right now i am juggling more than i am comfortable juggling #it's not even a bad or stressful thing it's really just an i don't want to be doing all of this at once thing #the end
