Hope you enjoy your time with her and sewing together.
Congratulations on the engagement! How wonderful of you to get her a sewing machine too. I gave my son's girlfriend one of the sewing machines I had here. She came over one weekend and I had her use a couple of sewing machines dh and I found in my sil's basement when we were cleaning it out after she died. I figured it would be best for her to try them out and pick the one she was most comfortable with.
