I only have one sewing machine, but I am looking for a new one because my grandaughter has informed me that when I find me a new machine the old one will be hers. lol I am looking forward to getting the new one so that her and I can sew together. She is only 8 yo but has been using my machine when she is here on the weekends. I think the 160 would be idea to learn the basics on. Sure someone will stop by to have a sew in with you and if you got rid of one you'll have to share, that is no fun, lol. Enjoy them both! Keep both!!
