I love mine because she is so cute, mostly. I keep her out where I can see her and when I look at her, it makes me smile. She sews a great stitch but I am so used to my needle threader on the machine I'm using that I haven't taken the time to really sew with her yet. I have trouble threading her needle even with one of those needle threading thingys. (age is not good for eyes) I'm going to start a 1930's patch quilt before long and I'm determined to sew the patches with her!
