pleased to inform

that the heater works well. it only goes up to 34ªC as it is for aquariums and not for making fish broth.

i bought the 100w. one, but in theory the 50 w one would have been enough as you need a watt x liter.

the extra wattage means that it heats quicker, but once the thermostat get to 34º it shuts down.

that said it takes out the chilly edge from the vat and puts it to work. to go up to 40º must be heaven on earth, but have not found anything that could take the vat there.

another consideration i'm taking is that since the temp is not optimal i'm letting it rest for an hour after each session.

yesterday's catch.i am a very happy camper.

will work for anything

just to be able to pay the electricity bill. had to bite the dust and get one because it didn't matter whether we were roasting, the ai vat was 25ºC and wasn't going anywhere. we'll see how this works.

the cord extender will be a tripper . i have also been warned by the  maker that it is not intended for other uses. but do you really think that the heater minds that the water to be heated is blue??i don't think so.

breezy fashion

knitting this tunic was a breeze. japanese in stye = 2 large rectangles sewn together.  being so light it needs a body inside to hang straight. really like the overlocked edged, very  sephen burrows   ^_^

the only caveat is that the linen is so fine and the knit so open that it catches  and runs like crazy.

i also tested the walking foot and it works very well. upset with my machine because the bobbin keeps jumping in the case and creating a mess with the overlock foot and stitch. elna's are definitely NOT what they were ever since they're  not swiss made  anymore.

waiting anxiously for the color changer to arrive. 

advancing my mk education with this and this. although above my head most of the times, their posts serve as stimulants.
