My daughter lives in England now (I'm in America) and is finally showing interest in sewing. I've been spending WAY too much time on EbayUK, trying to buy her a good used machine for Christmas! (They have different current there, so it's just simpler to get her an English machine.) If I ever can win a bid on a decent machine for her, I'll be so happy. I wish I could be there to teach her all the sewing stuff she never paid attention to while she lived at home.
