I’ve used QC in the past but my QC stash is quite limited!
I’m definitely going to try cutting it on the bias next time! Hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!

I haven’t tried orange oil. Same here- nothing toxic. Food grade DE works when things are dry but once it’s wet it’s useless

fire ants are the worst!!!!!
disturbing them every day until they move has been the only thing that kinda works for me but our beds are raised/in-ground combo. Our compost bin is another story lol… I hope can get rid of them🐜

Oh no! I was gifted a vintage machine that needed a motor replacement a few year ago.. I ordered from SewingMachineDepot on eBay and my partner installed it. Maybe you will be able to replace it?

Apparently I just have the pdf of the manual. I messaged it to you. Feel free to reach out! I can take pics of mine & where I oil it.

I have this one too. Still haven’t quite figured out the right tension for it. It’s all metal- built to last & be used. If it’s been sitting it probably will need to be oiled every place metal touches metal & moves. I have the service manual if you need it :)

I got one of those charts a few years ago. It’s been a great resource! Wawak has a conversion of the numbers. Large spools and small spools have different numbers for the same color
