Wel...Hi Elle, and thanks for the kind compliment! <br /><br />Well, Last time I checked, sergers in Aduana usually cost around P5k up. If my memory serves me right, the P5k ones are the 3-thread types. I think. <br /><br />On the foot machine feet problem, I hear you. I have to take particularly good care of my Bernina feet, since the attachment mechanism's completely different from what I see on most local machine feet. I make do with using a zigzag setting on my raw edges, then making French, rolled, or felled seams, depending on the feasibility (and how nutzors I am at the time. French seams can be tricky!)Jonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343641251452435519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317294927023959884.post-4107732841377498282012-07-11T21:57:46.558+08:002012-07-11T21:57:46.558+08:00Hi BelatedBloomer!

It's a very basic sewing machine and it's frustrating that Brother does not sell machine feet and accessories here in the Philippines. How do you sew the raw edges without a serger?<br /><br />Thank youEllenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317294927023959884.post-77848441262721015382012-07-07T10:29:51.351+08:002012-07-07T10:29:51.351+08:00Hi Jonette!

Where will you also be coming from? <br /><br />If you will be commuting, <a href="http://www.ph-commute.com/2008/03/how-to-commute-to-manila-north-harbor.html" rel="nofollow">Here are a number of routes you can choose from</a> to get to the nearest point to the warehouse stock sewing machine shops. You will have passed the Hidalgo Monument on your right, and soon, the Archbishop's Palace. When you start circling 'round Anda Circle counter-clockwise, go all the way 'round until you see The Eastern Shipping Lines Inc. building. The street to its left will be 13th street. Slip into that. A few more seconds into the street, and you'll start seeing shops lined with appliances, motorcycle helmets, and yes, sewing machines. Ta-daaa! You're here! Congratulations! <br /><br />Heads-up, though: More likely than not, the sewing machine or serger you will buy will be heavy -- my guestimate for my Bernina's weight be around eight kilos or so. Not very conducive for commuting by public transpo, unless you feel up to hustling it on a bus. It would be a good idea to rent a cab to take you to Aduana and back home, or take your car if you can. Just pop your precious purchase in the back seat, check if you have your foot press and transformer with it, and voila! This will save you a lot of exhaustion, and frustration in the end. <br /><br />To give you a clearer picture of where the shops are, <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=14.590273,+120.969941&hl=en&geocode=&sll=14.59013,120.970073&sspn=0.002134,0.002411&vpsrc=6&mra=ls&ie=UTF8&ll=14.590332,120.969955&spn=0.002134,0.002411&t=h&z=19&iwloc=ddw1" rel="nofollow">here it is on Google Maps.</a> My <i>suki</i> would be the first shop on the right. <br /><br />Good luck, happy adventuring, and happy shopping! When you do decide to go for it, let me know how it went. :)Jonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343641251452435519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317294927023959884.post-88282228251693329772011-08-24T00:44:16.644+08:002011-08-24T00:44:16.644+08:00Ive been looking for a post like this for weeks,ca...Ive been looking for a post like this for weeks,can you help point me in the direction where you bought your sewing machine?I'm learning how to sew on my own (recalling old sewing classes and online tutorials) but making most of them by hand.Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240446374532671323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317294927023959884.post-15916372671860689502010-08-05T15:40:58.505+08:002010-08-05T15:40:58.505+08:00Aaw! thanks Mai! ~<3 It's good to be back, ...Aaw! thanks Mai! ~<3 It's good to be back, and reading your posts too. ^_^*<br /><br />Hey, if you have the money and the time, why not? a sewing machine can be a handy thing, just as sewing is a handy skill to have. It really takes time (and loads of patience and commitment) to learn how to sew -- heck, I'm still pretty much learning and fumbling as I go, haha! <br /><br />when you start thinking about learning how to sew, you have my full support on that. ;)Jonettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343641251452435519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317294927023959884.post-32337414213872303332010-08-03T20:46:15.636+08:002010-08-03T20:46:15.636+08:00wee~ i miss your posts! and i like this one in par...wee~ i miss your posts! and i like this one in particular. :) I also dream of getting my own sewing machine (because I'd like to sew my own skirts and dresses) but I don't know how to. boo me~maihttp://pickingsunshines.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
