My New Indulgence

A week before Raya, I finally got my overdue birthday present from Mr Vediaz. He wanted to get a new sewing machine for me because I always borrowed my emak's Singer. Actually he bored watching the scene where I got to my emak's home, lugged the machine back to Kemaman, my emak visited me at Kemaman, she lugged her machine back to Kuala Terengganu. I've been eyeing a Janome machine for a few months already but hesitated a bit because there isn't any Epal Training Centre nearby (ie: Kuantan or Kuala Terengganu). Mr Vediaz didn't fancy Janome because he likes Singer better considering that a Singer machine is easier to maintain. His mom also has a Singer hence the preferences. After a lot of reasearching, I contacted a Janome agent in a forum and I managed to grab a RM500 voucher from her. So, Janome it is.

From my experience, my 2049 performance is as a good as a Singer machine that is priced at RM1+++.++. Trust me guys, the price is not based on how many patterns a machine can sew; more expensive, more patterns; you can feel the smoothness when you sew with an expensive sewing machine. I also got the Magic Kit which consist of 15 sewing foots. There is a ruffler which you use to make ruffle for a blouse, a binding foot which can be used to sew piping and a lot more. Apart from that, I got free one year sewing lesson at Epal, well it is part of the package. By the time of writing, I have 2 projects pending under my belt. One is a baju kurung with a matching clog and another one is a quilted wall hanging. When I'm done with my sewing project, I'll post up some photos. Mr Vediaz is happy with my machine along with a phrase "Lepas ni ibu tak payah dah hantar upah baju, dah boleh jahit baju sendiri dengan baju abah sekali"....
