How wonderful! My granddaughter wanted to sew when she was 4, I gave her buttons, yarn,and sat with her as sew seed with a needle and thread . When she was 6 ,I bought her a sewing machine for little kids, what a piece of junk it was,looked good, but always jammed up...sew..she watched me sew on my FW 221, I sat her down and introduced her to "Millie",she was so happy!Away she was sewing...made 2 Christmas pillows,potholders,priceless memories. Now she is 10, and loves to sew with Mom-mom and "Millie ".
