One of the inspiration the artist got from the photographs of the nebula.

This would absolutely look great when worn with a pretty choice among many practical square scarves available. Accessories on already nice wardrobe would give a more attractive effect.

Designer Zehra looks forward to a warm acceptance of her new Eastern Collections across the globe.

As designer Zehra is renowned for her bridal wears and classy, yet simple dresses, I wonder if she would also try making dressy fashion silk scarves that would very well match with her beautiful dresses for the Pakistanis.

Regular maintenance such as cleaning and oiling are very essential to taking care of embroidery machines. Routine maintenance would definitely ensure prevention of any repair. Although commercial embroidery machines require less maintenance , it’s still  very important to have regular maintenance. There should be scheduled lubrication procedures which are broken down into daily, weekly, monthly and semi-annually.

Frequent cleaning and oiling would definitely guarantee for a longer life of the machine.  Schedules for the machine maintenance can be adjusted basing on the actual workload of the machines. Those commercial  embroidery machines used for home business would need lesser maintenance repairs compared to that in factories. Considering that  there are  lesser running hours used for business done in homes than in big companies having more demand for embroidery output.
