The more you expect of them the more you get. a school teacher told me that. Look for a old machine at a thrift store. I have several I paid an average of 5 dollars for. Oil them up and they work fine. She will love it and you. Is she about 5 now? Have fun with it :D
Yes, she is 5. I saw a small toy Singer at a yard sale this Spring or Summer. I am sure they wanted very little for it bc all the stuff was priced reasonable, but after I started really looking at it...it had been stored in an outbuilding (I assume). The original papers were with it but half eaten by a rat, and the electrical wires were eaten into! I would've loved to have gotten that for her. It was from Montgomery Ward or somewhere like that, it said so on the box. It was quite old. After I saw the work of a rat, I didn't want it. :(
