forget frustrating her it will frustrate you. I had gotten a toy for like 10 at joanns and it is a chain stitch and it is a piece of junk my dd has only sewn on it 4 times and I hate messing with it. I am looking at some other ones. I am all about getting her a small cheep one but you get what you pay for. If you can afford the money go with a real machine. like the hello kitty one. you can also go to a few dealers and see what they have in their clearance section. my dd most of the time will use mine and she is only 3 1/2. but that is with me helping her.
