I found this one at the grocery store for $22.00 it was regular $30.00 I will give it to her for her birthay in September. It sews great, has a light, forward, reverse, adjustable stich length runs on batteries or plugs in and has a foot pedal. Now she will have one at her house. I just couldn't afford to get her what I wanted right now but this will work for while she is learning. I think I will get her a full size machine when she is ready.
