    Software for pattern design

    If you like to design your own patterns check out Affinity Designer. Blows my mind!

    Quick to learn how to draw patterns, easy to resize and so so much more.

    Here is a great example from today: I tried to figure out how to get the length of the one side of an odd shaped part of my pattern. I know the measuring tool in Affinity but it seemed to only do straight lines, distance between objects or area.

    Quick search and I learned I can break the curve points and then it shows me the length of the different sides and the area 🤯

    Extremely handy especially when working with zippers in a certain size.

    I also can export as svg or pdf. Print and cut your patterns (pdf) or if you have a Cricut or Silhouette (svg), cut the patterns with that! Or even the leather if not too thick.

    I am considering selling some patterns in the future and I can even toss in the afdesign file for people so they can adjust what they want.

    Affinity Designer btw is super affordable especially compared to Adobe Illustrator and such. If I remember correctly there is free 30 day trial.

    Anybody else using Affinity Designer?

    Reddit claiming they weren’t recovering deleted posts
  • Mine are staying delete now after initially a few popping back up. What’s more concerning is that I requested my data a few weeks after I deleted my content. I was fully expecting to get empty files but nope ALL of my content. Dating back 10 years is still there! It’s not on my Reddit profile but they clearly kept it somewhere and can recall it whenever they want to. They do not delete the data.

  • Netflix Gains Six Million Subscribers After Password Sharing Crackdown
  • I don’t think it’s free loading. The deal is (was?) per stream. It’s none of their business who is watching and where when they structure the plans like that. I definitely will not ask for permission to watch when traveling. My location is not something they need to be concerned with. Hence I left Netflix. I’ll buy a month in fall to catch up and that’s it.

  • Netflix Gains Six Million Subscribers After Password Sharing Crackdown
  • I am not buying it. I have cancel our subscription and never share my password before. So have many that I know. I haven’t heard from a single person who told me they are a new subscriber because they can’t share password any longer. They just stop watching. However, I hear a lot of people upset about the approach and cancelled where before they just were too lazy to cancel (that includes me).

    Do I see all comments?

    I am moderating this sub and it shows 4 comments. I only see 3?! https://lemmy.ca/post/1528939 Does anybody else see 4? I am a bit concerned if there are 4 and I can see only 3 (2 are mine). As a moderator that would be no good.

    Repairs

    I recently watched this video by Corter and it was a bit of an aha moment.

    Whether it’s repair, changing the thread colour or in my case fixing some mistakes … I love how leather products can be opened up and redone. Not everything of course but the stitch line is fairly simple to revamp, billets are quickly replaced and even edges can be re-burnished.

    I love the 2nd bag that I ever made a lot but it was my second bag. I had missed a whole and one corner was therefore off, I attached the buckle upside down (it works but looks off) and a seam was opening up. Burnished edges weren’t good yet.

    So I sat down today and fixed it all. It was easier than I thought and it’s a nice upgrade! I wish I had taken before and after pics.

    Data request vs deleted posts/comments

    I had deleted all my content before the subs went dark. Some (very few) came back and I deleted again. But for a couple of weeks now my account is clear of all content. I decided to request my data from Reddit to see what they would send. They sent me my whole (deleted!) content. Like every comment and post ever submitted to the site. Is there anyway to request them to delete?!

    Version 1 (Mac) and iPad app would that work?

    I am still on version 1 but I want to add the iPad app. Are the files compatible or will I run into the version issue?! They have a sale on right now so I am looking at $125 (universal upgrade) vs iPad only ($18). It’s a huge difference. I don’t need the full suite of software really just the designer.

    Upgrade to my home gym

    I got my “hustle” sign installed! It switches on when I start a AF+ workout and off when I am done. Can’t wait for the stack feature to see if it stays on during consecutive workouts. For now it triggers on and off with each which is fine too.
