Pass on this one. There are plenty of machines (look at allbrands.com) that are brand name with 10 yr. or more warranties and made better with more features for a few dollars more. Check out the Janome Harmony 1017S 10/17Stitch Sewing Quilting Machine Buttonhole MetalCasting&BobbinCase 11Lb...it is $99 with a discount coupon, $94 and free shipping. The Ikea one looks plastic, cheap....may not hold up to very much use. BTW there are other machines on the site listed above for $69 as well...they look better than this one when you read the description. Wonderful that you are helping these kids learn the value of creating and sewing. Suggestion, contact your local quilt guild and see if members have a machine or two they would donate to this endeavor....bet you would get many donations....maybe fabric as well.
