I bought my little DGD a Janome Sew-Mini sewing machine last year for Christmas. It is a good little machine, but not really for a child. After I bought it, I found several things I didn't like. It doesn't have a light, no on and off button, just plug it in and it can go and a very small foot petal. It is a good machine but just not for children, in my opinion. I wish I had bought something else.
