Thanks QNan and Qcandy! Two of them just left and we got the machine out, checked out all the "parts", wound a bobbin, and threaded the machine. Good break point when mom came to take them home. The two oldest are so excited, Emily is 8 and Elise is not quite 6. I had purchased Possibilities' "Sewing Machine Fun for Kids" quite a while ago. They clutched it in their hands while I was showing the real thing. First "sewing" is done on paper w/out thread. I think they will be raring to go when they come tomorrow night. Tonight I plan on getting tension adjusted. I told them I might even take this to my sewing workshops. It's so light only 11 pounds, and over twice the weight of the Sew Mini at 5#. Years ago I taught 4-Her's to sew as club/clothing project leader. This will bring back lots of special memories.
Here's a pic of my purchase.
