Thanks for the advice. She says she wants to be a fashion designer so I know she really wants to sew, so I will look around and see what is a reasonable price. If she enjoys it on a lower end machine we can get her a better one later, she has a younger sister she can pass it down too hehe. So one more question, by dealer do you mean like a sewing shop?? I am really new to this so not exactly sure what dealer means.
