Seconding the rug (or bed!) ideas. Before I got blocking mats I would use towels or plastic bags on the bed or rug.

Did it end up ok?

It looks great!

I think it's normal to not remember! It's been MONTHS! My dental assistant said that she takes notes of things we talk about even if they're unrelated, so that she has something to monologue about, or ask me in order to build rapport. Would it help to just reframe their questions as them doing their job, including tracking that stuff for you? If you don't remember complications from the sinus infection, it probably wasn't that big a deal.

Idea: I do have a file in my Notes app that's just all the questions I want to ask my doc. Since I don't delete the old notes, I have some level of breadcrumbs.

Making them separate colors helps with the troubleshooting, as others have said. Also, the color of the left needle will show on the other side (as much as a regular sewing machine's would). So in your actual project, you probably just want to rethread the left needle.

And yeah, overlockers use more thread per inch of sewing than a regular machine would. In my experience though, the cones are a lot bigger than the average spool, more than is proportional.

tbh with your user name I was hoping they'd be star trek stickers! These are pretty though, I like the flowiness of them

Now I want to LCARS up my Pfaff.
