thank you!
Thank you! You're supposed to turn it inside out so the edges are on the inside, but that made it too tight to be usable. Since the bias binding has enclosed the raw edges quite nicely I decided to just stitch down the sides instead, and that worked well.
I used my grandma's old Bernina for many years, and while I love it and there are many years of life in it, I recently bought a new Janome.
It has lots of upgrades compared to the Bernina which have just made sewing much easier and more pleasurable.
- the automatic needle threader (I have astigmatism, and my eyesight is changing with age),
- the light is much better
- it's faster
- buttonholes are actual witchcraft
It's more complicated in that it has a huge array of stitch options but at the same time it is also easier to use, if that makes sense?
The office where I work in central London, UK has bike parking for 300 and only eight vehicle parking spaces. We also have a fitness suite. There's two (male and female) locker rooms with showers, towels provided, a drying room.
At least one of the green building standards doesn't give you the top rating unless you have provision for active travel, institutional investors won't buy your shiny new building unless it's rated "Excellent" or "Platinum", tenants are looking for added extras which encourage their staff to come to the office rather than WFH.
And Westminster Council charges business rates (property tax) on parking spaces.
Yes, I make a recurring monthly donation via ko-fi.
