>>10506618>>10506849Actually even if you don't have two spools it'll still work, or at least, it worked fine on my super basic machine. You can just buy a seperate spool stand if your machine itself doesn't have two spools.
I'm making a corset that goes on the outside of my clothes. I have a 4way stretch vinyl on hand already that I'd like to repurpose, so can I iron mid or heavyweight interfacing to the back and treat it like a woven (interfacing will stop it from stretching)? I'd rather not buy new yardage if I can since I already have so much shit in my sewing room.
Does anyone know where I could find something like a floorlength petticoat for ballroom type of dresses? I have the problem that the shape of hoopskirts come through dresses, means I need a layer of poof to smoothen things out. I've tried looking for one on aliex and taobao, but couldn't find aside from hoopskirts.
>>10507402look for wedding dress petticoat on ali.
Do the US and the EU have different standards for thread denomination? I mean how to specify thickness/weight/strength when buying online.
What are your opinions on cosplay photographers?
>>10505577>befriending cosplayersNGMIthese people aren't your friends, they're just using you to get closer to cosplay fame while competing against other vain uggos. Your real friends should be met through parties, significant life events, and better networking, not clients. I know a drug dealer who made this same mistake, and eventually he told me he doesn't hang out with clients, unless he's already friends with them before they knew about his business.Plus, photography is a shit business, and normally photogs don't get taxed, so they shouldn't have a good reason to bitch and moan about a shitty business with shitty clients. It's business, bitch.
>>10496446thisalways have a blacklist for bad clientsanyone I do research on who's said something bad about someone without any merit, I cut them off immediately. It's just bad for business, and you're just asking for trouble if you let them in, chances are they're going to be stingy too, so generally they won't make you money at all.The good photographers I've come across(very rare) treat it like a business and cosplay shoots are a very small minority in their clientele, the bad ones are just people who drift around the cosplay community mostly with unsuccessful and awkward motives, or just doing it as a hobby more than anything. Generally photography in cosplay community is a meme. My friends and I would crack jokes about a funny friend of ours who has a pretty mixed reputation in the cosplay community for trolling all the time but he's actually a chad, we'd be like "10 years from now when we bring our kids to anime conventions we'd see a photographer and point 'eww a creepy photographer', and when we recognize it's our friend K, we'd tell our kids 'oh wait, it's K. Wave to uncle K!'."
>>10505856Depends on what a photographer is doing to get taxed, but a legit one, trying to write off expenses, will indeed be taxed, as long as they are being honest in their expenditures.
>>10505577it's always the one that is not paying for shoots that complain and trying to tell you what to docosplayers like telling photographers what they should shoot but people are not allowed to tell them what to cosplay
good advice in this thread, i'll kinda share too.I was a staff member and cos photog>yeah talk about the fucking worst combo in existenceabsolute hell. Cosplayers don't want to be your friends, just take the goddamn photo and pray to god they're not going to tell their friends about how shit you are. also, dont. I repeat. Don't fucking date cosplayers. p.s usually ero-cosplayers tend to be the chilliest people ironically.

>>10508417i'm in a long-term relationship and i'm sexually active but you don't see me sperg about how much i love sucking dick and try to force strangers to love it as much as i do. stop being retarded and post feels dumbass
Years of repression, misunderstandings of campaigns such as 'cosplay is not consent' - where the person simply drops ANY attempt to socialize at all outside of the convention floor, sexual memes and groups like in picture related. Our community is sick. People are repressed. People are tense. And if one tries to break out of the taboo, it's outright cancelled. This needs to be discussed.
>>10507834Isn't that just men in general?
>>10506912Honestly this. Anyone that is worth dating is either already taken, or they're gay.
>>10506912Good. Stop trying to find a girlfriend/wife at a con and find friends instead. The only omes looking for love are teens that read dramacon.
>>10508148Well I already found someone so I'm good.

>>10507765Hi Anon. No, we are not. Of course, skipping a year puts a small dent in out income, but yearly costs are quite low. We actually make good use of this year, restructuring a few things, maintenance on hardware, and preparing for different scenarios considering Corona. If you follow our socials you'll see we have great plans for the years to come.

>>10507974She's clearly not great at makeup in general. idk if she's trying to overdraw her lips or just doesn't know how to properly shape bold lipstick. Her blush/bronzer is also a full inch or two lower than it should be. That plus the wonky lips droops her whole face down.
>>10507808It was in an older thread some months ago, made me wonder if I have a weird build. Fully agree with you, VM is a blessing if you're 5ft7 and maybe over.

Anyone else sort of waiting impatiently to hear updates on their gifts? Especially if you're already done with yours.
>>10507294I'm assuming the worst so that I can be pleasantly surprised.
Where are the email addresses for organisers? I’ve been staring at the FAQ for ages and I seem to keep missing them somehow.
Waiting on one more package to get to me before I ship.Also waiting on stickers for my cards but if they take any longer I’ll have to find something else to ship the cards with . How’s everybody else doing ?
>>10507573AAAHHHH!! I just checked the FAQ Link in the email I sent myself and its the one for WHITE DAY 2017!!!??? Aaah. I checked the emails we sent out and THANKFULLY they have the updated link.. PHEW. Anyways, I have updated the 2020 FAQ with organisers emails at the top of the page! 4chan likes to spam filter me when I try to post any direct links.

Postage times are so weird right now. I’ve had two parcels I bought on 11.11 arrive today but I’m still waiting for a few things I bought back in August.
>>10507243same here. just got something i ordered on nov10, still waiting for stuff i got on sep21
Has anyone canceled an item but it still get shipped and come as if you didnt? I clicked though all the stuff and filled out why i wanted to cancel it within an hour of buying something.... and a week later the item got updated as shipped.....Its not a huge deal to me because i wanted to review the original and the knock off but then decided it was probably a waste of money.
