Re: One more survey
Camille Peters
Jim, I have never used Twitter and have no plans to do so. Also, I am way over 40 and even though I have an iPhone and iPad, I have no clue what Periscope is. Camille Peters Not to worry. The survey results suggest that you are part of a large majority, so Periscope is no longer in consideration right now.

Re: One more survey

Thanks for the extra info. I had noticed Periscope was on Apple TV4 so that's good - I don't give my mobile number to anyone except friends and family so maybe I'll just get a free pay as you go sim for my old phone so I can use that number and not have to use Twitter - it's a smart Android phone as well so hope that will work. Anyway happy I can sort that! Seems I was looking at the wrong version of Apple TV - TV4 is actually £121.99 (cheapest price I've currently found for the 32GB) - but still looking at buying it. No worries from me re time. I'm a night owl and very very rarely go to bed before midnight - quite often 1 or 2 in the morning, so as long as you don't broadcast before 10 am UK time (which will be in the middle of the night for you) I should be wide awake and able to join!.

Wow that's expensive. We have those types of things here in Sarasota Florida but usually is minimal and they give you free stuff so it makes it worth while. Janet

Floriani Workshop
I'm currently attending a 2-day Floriani "Hands-On" event that cost $129. The majority of the first day was spent in selling Floriani stabilizers and software and the Brother Dream machine. If this event comes to your area, look closely before you sign up. I know that these workshops are for selling product but when you pay so much, you don't expect to have most of the time spent on selling. We stitched out 3 projects; a small purse, a mask and a tea towel, that were shown in the digitizing software and that used new Floriani products. Each took about 20 minutes. In a day that ran from 9-5. Mulqueen Sewing Center sponsored this event and the hotel provided a very nice lunch and morning muffins so i guess all was not lost!

Jim, I don't have an iPhone or Android phone. So if you go with Periscope only people with these devices can access the videos or have I misinterpreted what you are saying. But I do have a iPad. You can run iPhone apps on iPad. They are just bigger. However since your iPad doesn't have text service you would have to log in with Twitter.

Re: One more survey
Theresa Turnbull
Hi all,
Off subject I know but it is on the buy versus make theme – in
October I made Halloween outfits for us for a function, my better half was
Dracula I was a witch . At the end the prizes were handed out we didn’t get
anything because “they frowned on people buying obviously very expensive outfits
for the occasion” so we came nowhere but an outfit I had made a few years
ago and had lent to someone won. So the moral of the story is don’t make
home made stuff too good or ...............

I strongly suspect that if you are on the internet at all, someone is going to be tracking what you do, no matter how safe something is supposed to be.

Re: Floriani Thread
Vikki Youngmeyer
If you want to continue to use the silicone spray, I suggest that you spray some of that stuff on a piece of batting and tape the batting to the top of the sewing machine somewhere in the thread path. That way you haven’t “contaminated” all your thread should it not work.

In the ongoing discussion of thread shredding - A friend of mine told me to very lightly spray a tine bit of silicone spray down the thread spool. This is very unorthodox but has ended all of my thread issues. This and using only top stitch needles. I always use the silicone spray sparingly and not in my sewing room.
I let the silicone dry completely before threading and have not had any more issues. My machines are fine, no residue. I can use any thread I want and I only use this when a spool is giving me trouble. I always use this with metallics.
As I said, this is unorthodox but it does work.

Re: Quarter inch foot
Donna Morton
Here is my favourite way to achieve a scant 1/4 inch on my 15000.
Make sure you have Favourite Stitch in the SET menu turned on.
Use the straight stitch plate. Touch Home and then pick the Quilting menu
in the upper right. Select stitch 2. It is a rather “wide” 1/4 inch
for most. Adjust by moving the needle to the right to 8.6 or 8.7.
You can do that if are using the straight stitch plate.
Now you are going to make this change into a Favourite Stitch that will
come up every time you go to this menu. See page 38 – 39 in the Version 1
Manual (might be a page or 2 different in the Version 2 Manual for saving the
changed setting to Favourite stitches.

Hardly anytime for what I'm learning now.. and all the recent questions
juliadlf1 <no_reply@...>
Right now my time is spent on Facebook, YouTube lessons, Email with only short spurts of time for the one thing I want to do...sewing and embroidery. With the holidays approaching quickly that puts my extra time in a deficit. Sad isn't it. It is not a choice of learning or not learning a new venue. Its a matter of available time. Not sure why this needs to be addressed now as the choices you've given may not even be around after the first of the year.
Time to get back to working on my Christmas gifts and stream a YouTube video. Multitasking today. Julia NY

Re: One more survey
Anne Parker
I'm definitely up for Periscope! - as I don't have an iPad (though the Apple TV will mean I will be able to watch the My 15000 app). I like the idea of it being live when we could ask questions if we wanted rather than You Tube which is just watching. I'm happy that I won't actually have to 'tweet' even if I have to belong to Twitter. I do have old user that I had to create as directed by IBM when I was working, but I've never used it and never had anything sent to me from Twitter, so I'm thinking this would be the same (can't even remember what the name of it was now!). Thanks for the link to DuckDuckGo - never heard of that one. I use Firefox in which you can open a private browsing window - is that the same thing? Anne www.sewingtales.wordpress.com https://www.flickr.com/photos/94302460@N03/sets/ "Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance". Anon As it happens, Periscope only needs a login. That can be a Twitter account or a mobile phone number. I think they only want that so they can be assured that it is their app they are communicating with, not someone trying to capture their data streams. Private browsing means nothing is being saved in your computer's history, but Google saves every search request and the IP address that it came from. They also use tracking cookies to monitor which sites you visit so they can serve up ads. It's disturbingly close to "Minority Report" (the Tom Cruise movie, not the recent TV show). Duck Duck Go doesn't keep anything. They will serve ads in the search results related to the search term (which is how they make money), but they do not track anything. Given that our respective governments are keenly interested in virtually every move we make online, I am trying to preserve what precious little privacy is left. Periscope requires an iPhone or Android phone to create and view video, and they also support viewing on Apple TV. The app is free. I suspect the tricky bit is going to be to find a time when everyone is still awake in the US, Canada, UK and Australia.

I have used duckduckgo for some years now...absolutely agree. Even on the occasions I am 'forced' to use google, I do not click on the links...haven't for many years...I highlight and copy the link, create a new tab, and paste the link into the URL field. If the link does not show completely (has "..." at the end), I right-click to copy it but paste it into a notepad.exe window, then 'mine' the actual link out of all the 'drive thru' garbage.

Re: Quarter inch foot
Anne Parker
Hi Colleen Are you just selecting the straight stitch from the Utility menu or have you tried the Piecing application? This uses stitches Q1 to Q3 and allows you to use them with the straight stitch plate which has an oval hole on the right to allow movement of the needle. I think it will be Q2 you want. Take a look at page 60 of the manual
