Hi,
The layout on my phone has changed since the migration. It's still not right, but workable.
But for "unread messages" I can't see the "mark all messages as read" option. Am I going mad? Perhaps someone else can spot it in the attachment.

The migration has resolved both issues. Thank you.

I have had the big black screen and weird formatting when viewing on my phone for ages. I have done all the obvious things to cure it.  I am hoping that one day it will magically return to normal.

I think the ones I have are the Skubb ones, they are deeper and taller.

I have hanging shoe storage for fabric (and a few shoes) in a wardrobe in my sewing room.
Something similar to this.

Saves converting it to shelves.

The one time I needed to do this I used a scalpel.

Sewing Machines / Re: Views of Janome 360DC?
« on: March 22, 2022, 10:03:55 AM »
I can't judge between the two machines. However I do find the adjustable pressure really good to have. I don't do P&Q but my dressmaking can vary between chiffon skirt overlays and making jeans.

Access All Accessories / Re: Archery accessory pouch

Thanks all. @Goth Gardiner what is the allotment to which you refer?


I think the nearest thing is a community garden - certainly I've seen what I would describe as an allotment called community gardens in Boston (a community garden in the UK is something different).


It's a patch of land that you rent for the purpose of growing food.

That's nicely done. I may just copy it for use in the allotment.

Ironing protective sheet or a dedicated tea-towel is a must.


The six-inch sewing rulers with the moveable guide are really helpful.


And, very important, really good lighting!

Sewing Spaces and Furniture / Painting laminate
« on: February 08, 2022, 13:09:37 PM »
I share my sewing room with some awful 80s fitted bedroom furniture.  If I were to get rid of it I would have to replace it with other wardrobes and storage, which I don't have the time or money (or strength) to do.  But, I don't think I can live with them much longer.  I just want plain white, to go with my white tables (or potentially pale pink to go with the walls).

Has anyone ever painted laminate?  Or used sticky-backed wall-paper on it?[/font]

Me too @Sewingsue . Her tales were entertaining & as they got more fantastical I started to realise it was all fiction. Don't know why anyone would bother, maybe she was trying out short stories on us!


Simply for the attention gained I thought.  Much like people posting things on Facebook for "likes".

those of us who have been here for some time may remember a regular poster who vanished - with some feeling that her accounts of her life were not entirely accurate IIRC.



In case she re-appears in the future and people have forgotten, let's get this straight.  She left the previous forum, because she knew she would be banned, after she was exceptionally nasty to one of the moderators.  She came back here, and then stirred trouble and accused one of the mods of abusing her, then got banned from here.


This kind of person is why people might want to be careful with posting too much personal stuff.

My concern is not so much someone trying to access my bank details or whatever, but someone stalking me on the internet.  I can think of two occasions since this forum started that a long-standing poster either went back through all their posts and deleted personal stuff, or was openly stalked by someone being unpleasant. 

There can be a build-up of information posted over the years that makes someone easy to track down in real life, and what we say to our friends here we might not want our next-door neighbours reading. I was, for example, going to post something on the PITA mother thread, but then wondered if I should leave such information available for all time. 

I know that someone having paid £10 a year, or posted 25 posts or whatever, isn't going to completely stop such behaviour, but I suspect that such trolls would go elsewhere rather than spend money. 

I wonder if things like the "Today" threads ought to be deleted after a certain amount of time?  Could the system automatically delete them after a month?
