There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

This is a place for you to discuss, share, and learn with one another about everything related to the Quilting Community. The platform is currently in the beta phase (not available on mobile currently), as we work out the kinks with some of our community members. But while that’s going on, you’re still free to comment in any of the discussions.
For now, we’re only releasing this platform to our Audiophile, Mechanical Keyboards, Men's Style, Ultralight, Photography, Everyday Carry, Hobby Shop, Writing, and Quilting communities, so we can get a handle on what works and what doesn’t. We’ll start rolling these features out to other communities as soon as we get everything in tip-top shape.
There are some basic rules for posting on Massdrop, and those apply here, as well. If you need a refresher, feel free to read up on our discussion rules and guidelines here: (https://www.massdrop.com/talk/51/discussion-guidelines). The TL;DR is this: Use common courtesy and show respect to one another. We are all here to learn more and grow the community together.
As far as posting goes, pretty much anything is fair game, so long as it has something to do with the quilting community—sewing machines, needles, fabric types, patterns, you name it. The best posts are those that encourage sharing and discussion. Some ideas for a great post include: your favorite fabric bundle, reviews on gear, or details on what makes one needle material better than the rest. To create a post just click the "Blue +" at the top right of your screen. For a more in depth explanation on how to create your own post check out this video: https://www.massdrop.com/talk/317/how-to-publish-a-post
In the future, this post will be updated with additional features we roll out. Until then, we welcome everyone to the community and look forward to hanging out with you!
If you have any questions, please post below and I’ll answer them as they come up.
Cheers,
Mike
