Sewing Machine (Special Post for Yaya)

Ehem. As Yaya mentioned about my wish-list sewing machine, yes, this is it. I would want a sewing machine which enables me to sew curtains and bags, which means kind of heavy duty since the fabrics are mostly really thick. Owh, FYI, it's the needle size that is important, to make sure it does not break while sewing your heavy-duty cloth (it happened before). So, hence buying costly sewing machine, look for the specification offered. I think I'd go for these Singer models:-


2624

•Portable zig-zag sewing machine
•24 Stitch patterns
•1-Step buttonholer with stitch balance control
•6mm stitch width
•Automatic needle threader
•Top drop bobbin
•Auto declutch for bobbin winding
•Tubular bed
•Thread cutter
Price : RM1,295 (WM), RM1,315 (EM)




2259 Tradition








•19 Stitches - utility and decorative
•Zig-zag function
•Easy stitch selection
•Variable stitch length
•4 step buttonhole
•Front load bobbin
•Automatic bobbin winding
•Free accessories included
•Snap on presser feet 
Price : RM 945 (WM), RM 975 (EM)

So Yaya, dah decide ke nak beli yang mana?
Nak beli yang simple, takut nanti menyesal. Better opt for intermediate models. Good for future investment :D

Mak aku pergi UK, die borong mesin jahit kat ebay n car boot sale sane. Dah beli 2 n still mencari lagi.. Aku nak mesin jahit utk jahit baju n langsir je. Murah pun ok :)

Niha,
kalo nak beli mesin jahit, belilah yg jenis tahan lasak. kakti nyesal beli mesin jait singer yg ade ni sbb mesin jait ni takleh nak tampung heavy fabrics. masa tu tak terfikir pulak satu hari akan menjd satu kerjaya kan...ingatkan nak jait light-light je..
so skrg tgh mencari yg jenis industrial sewing machine.

FYI, ade mesin jahit jenis murah siap boleh buat design, sulam2 tp dr brand cikai. kalo rosak, susah nak dpt sparepart.

Singer senang. rosak senang nak dpt sparepart.
Janome pun ok tp mahai sikitlah...

p/s: awak ingat lg tak mesin jait tok yg jenis pusing guna tangan tu?

kak ti, saye baru je ingat nak mintak tolong kak ti jahitkan langsir utk rumah baru nanti (nanti ye, bukan sekarang hehe).

owh, jadi ke nak tolong jahitkan alas dulang tu? perlu ke saye beli kain baru utk lapik dulang? bentuk square lg senang kan? rasa mcm nak pegi beli kain satin and lace yang murah2 je bagi kak ti jahit. tp theme colour utk hantaran taktau lg ni. huhu....

owh, mesin jahit tok tu sungguh berjasa sebab berjaya siapkan baju kurung kedah utk ERT masa form 2. siap tetap ketiak 8 kali. last2 fedup, teh tolong jahitkan. kenangan betul....

Mak aku baru beli mesin jahit (lagi satu, sekarang dah 2 sejak die dok UK 2 bulan) brand Janome model Style 22 50pound on ebay. Tapi takde manual guide, sian die meraba mendiscovery sendiri. Katenye mcm ok, tapi if die rase tak best, die nak beli lain (lagi)..

Mak aku dan obsesi mesin jahit.
