I got my GD a sewing machine for her 8th birthday. I looked on Craigslist til I found a used but well loved Elna that was a step up from basic so room to grow. The seller had gotten a new one for Christmas. It sewed beautifully and was $30. I've bought and sold several machines on CL. As long as you can try them there are some real treasures out there. (Max)
