A Brother For My 3Ss

Alhamdulillah, I'm so grateful to Allah for giving this 'chance' to finally own it.. A 'Brother' for my 3Ss, (my Singer sewing machines)

The Chronology

Actually I've been drooling over this ( and still do, mind you)

PR-1000
PR1000
or at least this
PR-650
PR650
but the price is far unreacheable, unless I made a loan for it. But with all the paperworks and with zero experience, I was thinking it was quite impossible to get it approved.

Then, somebody told me about the MerdekaRaya promotion from Brother offering 50% discount for this machine
INNOV-IS 90E
NV950e
I got all excited.. I was thinking, why dun I start from 'small' one first then once I got the experience in embroidering and how to market, then it would be much easier for me to buy the one I've been drooling over or at least get a loan for it.

But when I browsed thru its specification, I realizes it 'working area' is too small, so it would be quite inconvenient if I want to do 'kerawang' on 'baju kurung' as I have to do a lot of hooping and rehooping.

Then I got the recommendation to buy this one instead
INNOV-IS 750E
NV750
It was better although the price is not...huhuhu.. And again my hand got all 'itchy', to check it specification and compared it with this machine
INNOV-IS 1500
NV1500
So when I went to the outlet, I asked for the demo for the 2 models, but since NV750e wasn't available at the time, so only manage to see the second model... Again my mind was 'poisoned' with it features so I decided to take NV1500, but told the salesperson I need to think about it first and discussed it with my husband...

The decision made, and just almost we got there, my husband turned to me and asked me why didn't I take the machine that was situated at the lower 'rack', the screen is wider and coloured... which is this one
INNOV-IS 4000
NV4000
 Told him about  the price, and he said it's up to me... Adesss... during the negotiation of the price for NV1500, my husband asked the 'best deal' for NV4000 and the payment scheme without interest, and asked for the demo.. I asked about the main features about this machine has compared to the previous one, and these features actually helped me to choose this one, finally (actually, he also offered the best price for PR1000, but with heavy heart had to decline...huhuhu)
- it has memory back up, so in case the power was cut off during embroidering, I still can continue once the power backed in.
- it has USB slot for pendrive apart from direct cable slot... Since I'm sharing the lappie with my husband, so it's quite inconvenient if at the same time my husband needed to use it as well. And we did plan to buy desktop but again, I can't possibly move my machine everytime I need to use it.
- and of coz few other features....

Anyhow I really wish I can utilise this machine to the maximum,and generate more income from it. So if any of you interested to have some embroidery service, do let me know ok....hehehhe


Love & Regards

Bila Boleh Habis Ni?

Disebabkan keboringan masa raya kat Muar hari tu, suami pun busy dengan aktiviti bertukang rumah pusakanya, dan berserta 'green light' dari dia untuk pergi kemana saja (tapi kena drive sendiri), saya telah berjaya sampai ke satu kedai yg di'canang'kan oleh rakan2 menjahit yang lain, yg menjual benang secara bundle... So inilah hasilnya....
Agak-agak, bila boleh habis semua benang ni?
Yang dalam gulung besar tu, satu bundle hanyalah RM15, ada lebih dari 100 gulung benang, walaupun ada benang yg banyak, ada yang sikit (tapi lebih panjang dari gulungan yg kecik tu), tapi puas hati sebab ada banyak dan dalam pelbagai warna. Yang gulungan kecik tu, gulungan ni ada cukup panjang meternya, dijual dgn harga RM35 sebundle, juga pelbagai kaler, ada dekat 100 gulungan... Yang berdiri elok berbaris tu lak adalah benang jahit tepi,kira ikut timbang kilo, dan dalam bekas tu adalah butang.... Tu pun x ambik zip sekali, dok angkat letak, angkat letak, last-last terus lupa...Emm...agak-agak, bila boleh habis benang tu semua yek?

Love & Regards

10 Minutes Project But It Took Almost 6 Years To Do It!!


My sister in law gave a mini bolster to my eldest daughter (Fasha) when she was around 1 year old, with no cover... and it stayed 'coverless' until before we were ready to go back to my husband's hometown for raya the other day... Everything was ready, then one glanced at the bolster, I felt soo guilty....Bantal peluk tu xdelah guna sgt, mostly buat main jer... Tapi since bantal peluk kecik yg lagi satu dah di'claim' hakmilik oleh si kecik (Faiqa), so kiranya dah xdelah special bantal  untuk dia... So while waiting for my husband to load the 'barang' into the car, I managed to sew a cover for the bolster, which took me less than 10minutes, but it took me 6 years to do it...huhuhu...shame on me...
Now it's covered

Anyhow, I'm glad that she loves it, and since it's longer than her previous bolster, she can use it as pillow and still long enuff for her to cuddle it...hehhehe


Love & Regards

Salam Aidil Fitri Buat Semua

Assalamualaikum semua,
  Alhamdulillah, Allah panjangkan umur kita semua untuk menunaikan ibadah puasa tahun ini, dan bersama bergembira untuk menyambut kemenangan ini di bulan Syawal... Tapi apapun, tanggungjawap kita sebagai hamba Allah tetap perlu diteruskan, dan bertambah baik drpd bulan Ramadan yg lepas...

  Dah lama saya x update blog, kerana ada 1 peristiwa yg telah berlaku di bulan Ramadan yg lalu... kami diduga Allah, bilamana rumah kami telah dimasuki orang; lappie, handphone suami dan handbag saya telah diambil orang.. Lebih mengecutkan perut, kerana pada waktu itu, kami semua tidur di tingkat bwh dan semua barangan yg diambil itu terletak bersebelahan dgn suami saya, dan kami hanya menyedari kejadian itu setelah siap bersahur... Mulanya kami tertanya2, apsal la kami blh tak terjaga disaat itu, but on the second thought, sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Mengetahui dan Maha Penyayang.. Buatnya kami terbangun diwaktu itu,adalah berkemungkinan besar, nyawa kami didalam bahaya, kerana kami yakin mereka bersenjata... Alhamdulillah jugak kerana Allah melindungi kami dan hanya 3 barangan itu jer yg hilang... Ini juga mungkin peringatan Allah utk kami, kerana 'kelalaian' kami...

So dengan tiadanya lappie, tinggallah blog ini bersawang...hehhehe... FB pun log in guna hp, tu pun utk tgk kalau2 ada req dari customers... Ni pun belum berganti lappienya, tapi Alhamdulillah ada hamba Allah yg sudi meminjamkan netbooknya kepada kami...

   Apapun, sebelum mengundurkan diri utk post kali ni, saya harap belum cukup terlambat buat saya mengucapkan SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI... Maafkan segala kekurangan yg ada, kalau yg terasa hati ngan posting saya ker, atau utk customers saya terkurang layan ker, terkasar bahasa, terlambat respon ker, dan terima kasih diatas segala feedback yg positif, kata2 semangat, tips, ingatan, dan persahabatan.... Semoga kita semua akan menjadi hamba Allah yg lebih baik...

Dari kami sekeluarga

Love & Regards
