I just ordered for a young girl to learn sewing a book by Possibilities, The Best of Sewing Machine Fun for Kids. I wanted both of the books but was lucky to get one. I am going to send this to a young girl in Tampa,Fl that is learning to sew with the help of an experienced quilter. I think it is grand to share your knowledge and I gave this young lady a small singer machine I purchased from a garage sale. I believe it was a daisy a little heavy for her small size but still she will be able to move it if she needs to. I am hoping to get the other book so she has the set and can learn all there is to sewing. I will never get to be a grand-parent so I try to live that enjoyment through friends.
