    @TazPoltorak @Bfordham some toy machines cheat by only being able to make a chain stitch instead of the lockstitch used by modern¹ machines: those aren't really sewing machines, they can't be used to follow instructions designed for sewing machines and I'd recommend staying away from them even as a “starting” machine, because they really aren't one.the main issue being that the chain stitch unravels, and using it to make functional garments will require a lot more handsewing and different techniques that those used today.as the first sewing machine ever built, they were time saver when sewing meters and meters of ruffles on a 1850s dress, when you were used to sew 1840s dresses by hand, but really, sewing machine technology has moved on :)¹ i.e. since the second half of the 19th century :D

    #FediHelp #FediHive I need an efficient way to keep #wrenches in my #workshop (a problem common to every #machinist I think).Combination wrenches (those with the ring, top left in the pic) are easy to hang, but double open-end wrenches?Until now I keep them between two corks screwed to a board, but this requires a lot of space.Suggestions?

    I'm really hoping for Fediverse help here.I have a 14 year old niece. She's incredibly smart and extremely motivated when it comes to engineering things.I want to get her some electronics stuff, like an Arduino kit, but maybe something with wearables, etc. to make it more relevant to her than just a breadboard.She'll also need some books on electronics, since she doesn't have the background in that.Sadly, some limitations:- I can't help her. Her mother won't let my wife or I talk to her. This gift itself will have to be given through a third party.- She has a learning disability around reading- likely dyslexia, and so we need material that's easy to read- Her English is not amazing, especially because of the learning disability.So I'm looking for a kit with a ton of instructional material. Programming, electronics, breadboard, the whole kit and kaboodle.If you have ideas, please share, and boost!#Maker #Arduino #Wearables #FediHelp #Electronics
