Tech Know How / Re: Rule breakers
« on: May 26, 2021, 08:40:05 AM »
(Please everyone, let the mods get on with their sometimes thankless tasks and get back to discussing what we all prefer to chat about.  If the individual concerned has taken offence and chosen to leave us so be it.  If one or two others strongly support her views (whatever thay were) and choose to go with her it's their choice,)

No body as far as I can see supports her views strongly or otherwise...  that is not the issue. The issue is how it was dealt with... publicly. If there has to be moderation then it should be just that moderately and between the mods and the member. If it had then none of this kerfuffle would have ensued.

I really don’t agree.... a public dressing down isn’t the way to deal with things. It’s humiliating, we’re not five years old. A private message and warning should have been enough but it seems I’m in the minority on this.

You’re right we have no idea what has been discussed and how decisions are reached but I still think it was heavy handed and quite humiliating. I’m not in any way agreeing with what was said and it is against the rules but if  it’s not good form to complain publicly about the mods then it shouldn’t be good form to reprimand folks publicly either.

There’s no quilt police... you can cut your fabric how you wish @Flobear I've used bias with no noticeable difference

Heavy handed and totally unnecessary...
A private word and the post removed should have been enough.

Some quilters always use bias cut for binding... they say it’s harder wearing that way. Don’t know how true that is.

I would try looser... when using twin needles the bobbin thread forms a zigzag so the top tension needs to be a little looser.

Might be a top tension issue.

Nothing I could wear... I’m a bit tired of the Tilton silhouette.

Signed for is a joke.... my postie just sticks them through the letterbox.

I haven’t made this but it looks quite straightforward.
