4 loads of truck full of towels, sheets, table cloth, pillow cases, placemats! Includes two industrial sewing machines and 1 industrial overlock! I'll have a lot to embroider when I get back from Japan! :D Now I need a industrial embroidery machine!!! :D

Wish my dh would run over my foot so he could kiss up like that....All joking aside that was a great find and I'm sure you'll be busy for quite a while, enjoy all your goodies.

Oh sweetie, I think you have a keeper.!!!!What kind of auction did he happen on?

Katy, thank you so much!
Thinking about that, there is a sad side, a factory bankrupt. The bank did the auction last wednesday, the ones I got it is only about 10% of they had there. Everything was sold in unbelievable prices. Just one bin with materials for $15, including the bin. See the size of the bin in the picture! The machines $50 each! Well I think he got too much...

Oh wow! You will surely be busy for a while. Make sure you keep some time to relax and enjoy yourself. *2U

Gerry, thank you so much!

You sure are lucky to have a hubby that will do things like that for you! Have fun with all of your goodies. What you don't embroider, you can try to sell outright. You will plenty to keep you busy for a while! I would be overwhelmed at that much but you are a very busy person. I know you will have a good time! Hugs and blessings for your trip.

Nadyne, thank you! :) I hope get one soon!

Dear Yoriko,
It sounds like the perfect gift for you. What a nice surprise, before your trip. You can begin planning what to do and make. Guess you will be selling lots of goods. Perhaps his workshop will be made into a sewing area for you. Did you get napkins to go with the placemats? Hope you get your industrial embroidery machine too.
I wish you all of the luck and love possible on your wonderful trip to Japan. Kiss the little ones for me.
Love,
Jacqueline

Hi friend, are you going to have time to visit Japan?
It looks like you will have a load of sewing to complete so if we dont hear from you for ages we will know why. Enjoy Japan and seeing the cherry blossom and all the wonderful food. Happy sewing

Caroline, thank you so much! I really miss the food there, my first stop will be at a Japanese restaurant and have a delicious washoku!

Super!!!! What machine is? Oh, it's my dream!

by manami 02 Apr 2010

Leilany, two industrial sewing machines, Juki and Singer, and overlock is Juki. I want an embroidery machine now :D

Dear Yoriko,
When you decide which machine you are going to buy please let me know what made you choose, I am in the process of getting all the information about industrial machines myself, and at the moment I am having trouble deciding between a Happy machine and a Melco Bravo.
Enjoy your trip and dont eat to many Tokyo Bananas"(my favourite) Lol. Love Ruth

Ruth..I too have been researching commercial machines (for over a year). I have seen them all and my dream machine is the Melco. I'm saving my pennies to purchase the AmayaXT. It is basically the same machine as the Bravo with a few extra perks. I know the melco is pricey but it's a great machine.

by manami 02 Apr 2010

Ruth, thank you! I've heard Happy is the best machine, that hardly doesnt break, and seen one working. I really don't know, I would like to see AmayaXT working too. I hope you get the right one!

wow,that's what I call super !!! You know now there's a lot waiting for you when you come back!!

Coming back, I'll have to get into craft fair...getting busy embroidering those already. Thank you Meg!

Also,there are 1 big box full of overlock threads, several new rolls of fabrics, still sealed, many assorted stashes :)
Ok, I have a headache now, it is just too much!!! We just put the stuff in his workshop, his cars are out :)
These are going to keep me busy for the rest of my life!
Love,
Yoriko

Dear Yoriko, it is hudge!!!!Will all your life be suffisant for all that??? Keep some time of quiet for you and your family. Take a good time in Japan.Hugs.
