I havenāt tried orange oil. Same here- nothing toxic. Food grade DE works when things are dry but once itās wet itās 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 lolā¦ I hope can get rid of themš

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 havenāt quite figured out the right tension for it. Itās all metal- built to last & be used. If itās 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. Itās been a great resource! Wawak has a conversion of the numbers. Large spools and small spools have different numbers for the same color

My new iron! my garage sale one finally died. Itās so steamy & helps everything sit flat! Projector & Affinity Designer. Big time saver! Metal straw/chopstick for turning tubes. Sewing clips. Most useful is a bobbin box w a hinge lid my partner fixed up for me. Keeps the cats out of the thread!

I got a ticket rail for printed instructions. Same thing restaurants use for receipts. It works really well :)

I also have a Juki mo-654de. I love it. Easy enough to thread & Iāve never had issues with tension.
I used to have a Brother 1034d. Tension and sewing through thicker layers was an issue. I wish I got the Juki from the start.

Do you have a rug, bed or couch that you can store it under?
