Sammi, I'm not sure if its worth it because it was listed as a Second because of a missplaced snap but really the whole nappy has faults. But I know not everyone is perfect so I don't mind. But alot of the snaps need to be resquished & there is one spot on the booster thingy that the overlocking has missed a bit. But the bit its missed is because there is a snip in the material. I paid $30 for instead of $35 but i guess its still $30... I might send a email like you suggested.
i tells ya it's amazing what oiling the sewing machine can do for noise, she now hums like a wee little bee instead of rumbling like a freight train!!!!!, god i love bernie she's been so good to me!
Im starting to wish I paid the extra for a berinie now too.. F$#$#$ Janome $hit!!!!!! everytime I rethread the machine it plays up..Im ready to throw BOTH of them!
Sammi, I did send an email like you suggested & I got a reply offering a 10% discount on my next purchase. That was nice of her
I must say though, I am a little annoyed that this is the 2nd nappy I have bought where I have emailed the seller about some flaws not discribed when listing it & both times the seller has admitted to knowing there was a problem yet didn't bother to list these things in the items discription! The last one was the one I got off ebay, Tiny Toosh & same thing, she knew there was issues with it yet nothing was said in the listing. Same with the sandman, she actually said she wasn't going to list it at all because it wasn't up to standard! I don't mind getting what I paid for & I know I was bying a "second" with the sandman but it would of been nice for a bit more clearer discription on why the nappy is a "second" because "misplaced snap" doesn't cover it problems.
But Both sellers are helpful & nice so that makes it ok LOL.
Oh no Maz Hope it's not sitting in the front yard ATM!
FJ that's good of her to offer a discount. I agree it's frustrating that the product is not as described even as a second.
Ages ago my spool holder stoppy thingy (sorry can't think of a better description) broke and the spool holders fell through into the machine. I've been using my mums old elna but am discovering it's limitations. I went off this arvy on a bit of an expedition to try and get some spare parts so I can use my machine again. My lovely sewing shop ladies don't sell Janome, so off I went to Spotters. They don't sell Janome by the look of it either but I didn't know for sure because there was no one selling in machines as per usual I ended up at Melb Sewing Centre at the shopping centre and am verrrrry tempted to trade in my machine because I can get a $200 trade in on a machine that includes a walking foot (worth $79 to buy sep) and does a few other tricks that mine doesn't...only problem is I have to fine about $300 still.
I'm kind of keen because I only paid $189 for mine about 13 years ago because I bought it and left it in the shop while I went off doing some other things and a different girl sold it to someone else and because it was a run out model they couldn't get another one, so I got a different machine that was worth $300 or so (was a while ago so details are fuzzy...) so I can get more trade in than what I paid for the thing. It's just not so good timing ATM $$$ wise. *sigh* why do I always find the good deals when I can't afford to buy them.
I might try and layby it if I can.
Ooh, I love my Sandman. I was sent a cow print one instead of a plain one and when I rang about it Michelle offered to replace it and said I would get a large snap-in insert for the mix-up, though in the end I decided to keep it as it was better than a plain one. Hehe, I love her SustainableHP emails...even though I never buy anything, I still like reading them as they're always funny.
*sigh* Caty's itti leaked through her daks today onto my parents table cloth....but upon changing it I found it only had the fold up insert inside! Mitch! He's usually really good with nappy stuff and was quite apologetic. Cute. I think guys are quite capable of working out what peices go with which nappy, but they think it's really hard and are quite insecure about their efforts? That's what I find with Mitch anyway.
I was wanting to get bamboo flats to use now as pocket stuffers and later as flat nappies, nurture nappies has them for $10 each, around 40cm x40cm I think. Could they be made cheaper than that?
Depends if you can get it for the wholesale price. Check out snapsaustralia because they had some in 2 metre lots for about $40 + postage. It would be economical to buy it that way but I guess only if you really need that much IYKWIM. We co-opped fleece from there and it was really nice.
Have to share cause im on a misison to make prefolds for this bub..I went to lincraft friday and they had bright purple, red, blue, white and I cant remember the other colour, terry towelling there for $12 a metre. I think its best if mazzi moo goes down there when my $$$ is through from centerlink and gets me a meter or 2 of each.
Rissi - email me with what you want. I might be able to help you out
Sammi - go and get that machine...what a trade in price. I wish they had offered that here.
Hello ladies, I'm having a small issue with my bamboo fleece, i was unable to get access to a sewing machine so i ended up just cutting them in to inserts (trifolds), they are fine apart from the edges which have rolled up through washing and use and i'm wondering if theres anything i can do apart from sewing which could fix this? would re-cutting them with a pair of pinking shears help?
Hey there! Not sure...you don't want to keep cutting them into trifolds though do you, cos otherwise you'll run out of material! Do you live near someone with a sewing machine?
Hmmm I would offer to stitch around th eedge for you but I am sure you are too far away from me (if your who I think you are). MMMM or maybe even go to your local sewing shop & ask if they would mind doing it??
