I don't know where else to share my excitement but here, so I hope you can share my excitement. I bought a new machine. Weee!!!
I found it very interesting to go machine shopping in Borneo, Malaysia. I considered online, but I heard nightmares about damaged stuff and would likely have problems with servicing. Plus I'm a huge fan of shopping local if possible (and in this case, not national, but local to the state and/or the island). So I discovered there are basically only 2 shops (I think some closed down with covid.) There's a Singer dealer, and a Brother dealer...lol. That's it. But I had tons of time in 2 different quarantines to research, and research, and, well, more research. So I was ready in the even I couldn't get the Juki I wanted. Despite all the "challenges", I actually think I couldn't have picked a better machine, even with all the options out there.
Anyway, here she is.... she's a Brother Innov-is A80. So shiny and pretty. She needs a name. :thinking: Open to suggestions.
