Those little 99s are pretty cool. I gave my DGD a little Spartan with a finger guard on it and she absolutely loves it. She sewed doll quilts on it for her sister's at Christmas time. Before the finger guard she was having all kinds of trouble sewing. I figured out she was afraid of getting vaccinated or donating blood. Her sisters looked at that finger guard and they want to learn to sew too. They think that little machine is way cute.
