Take the needle out and show her the right way to operate the machine. Have her practice with fabric this way. If she is listening and following directions, let her give it a try. You can always let her start with you sitting by her side. AND relax while she is learning!!! Sometimes it is hard to let our kids use machines...but they can get hurt just walking across the floor, too :wink: The key is, to show them the proper way of using a tool, machine, etc and then supervising them :D :D :D I would probably still cut her fabric as 8 is a little young for a rotary cutter, but she can watch you and hand you the fabrics, stack the cut pieces, etc...
