This one was to upgrade the one I already own at the time after I have fallen in love with free motion quilting and quilting in general. 

And that said, the one I owned at that time wasn’t bought specifically for quilting purpose.

Did you know, I’ve never seen a real patchwork quilt with all the fun shapes and details until I went into a quilt shop to get myself a machine for my sewing hobby? (I use to sew garments)

Yup, we don’t quilt in Malaysia. It is not the right weather for it, though they are pretty and we do appreciate it.

In fact, these days, the China-made patchwork (those manufactured in large scale and uses cheater fabrics) are quite popular in Malaysia these days.

No, they are not the same as our handmade quilts. But, for those who don’t quilt and don’t really have the eye to appreciate handmades.

Hmmm. You must know at least one person like that don’t you?

They would be like,

“how much is your quilt? “

And then you answered.

And they’ll be like….

“what???? I can get that for a fraction of price.”

Yup. that person.

Anyway, let them be.

Cause we will never compete with mass production and our handmade is way better if you really do appreciate handmade and custom made items

.

Well, anyway, back to the story –

Getting a new machine.

Are you planning on upgrading your current one?

If you are, what is the one thing you look for?

I’ll share with you what I went for and why I am SO glad I did in this very post. Keep on scrolling.
