New Machine - Thank you Everyone

I have never owned a high end industrial sewing machine, the one I have is a domestically manufactured machine and it works just fine with stitching leather or fabric. I had been struggling to sew thick layers of leather and inner tubes on my machine and it was a hit and miss. Sometimes it would sew just fine and the other times it created problems, and I certainly did waste a lot of time with it.

They did not go for a cheaper Chinese brand but this Korean machine

This holiday season my wife n family got together and contributed money to get me a new Industrial sewing machine, and that too a walking foot. I am so happy and blessed that folks around me are thinking about me and they have put in a big chunk of money to equip my studio with proper equipment and tools. Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart.



Nice and clean - just out of the box



High capacity motor n walking foot mechanism

I did give it a short try once it was set up and it just zipped through four layers of thick hard leather like a hot knife slicing butter.



First Sale :)

Making your first sale is definitely a bit tricky when you’re the new seller on the block, selling lemonade — next to a hundred other lemonade sellers. Your chances of getting noticed? One out of a hundred. This is the typical scenario that most newbie online sellers like me.

Fortunately someone did notice my products and I had my first online sale toady - that is about 10 days from when I had the products listed in my shop. It just felt great at that moment and I am still feeling giddy, I believe it will take a day or two to totally sink in.

I am now more confident about my designs and the design direction I want to go in. I know it is just  ONE sale but it has really helped me with my confidence and I feel so positive right now. I know nothing comes on a platter and I have had my share of struggles and ups n downs since I decided to go this way about 9 months ago. It has taken me longer, and I for sure am way late but I am not out and am still in the race and I plan on running even harder now.

Thank you for trusting me and my work.
