Which sewing machine do you feel is best for a child's first and why
I have been teaching a young girl to sew for a couple years now. She will be 9 in November. I'd like to get her a decent sewing machine of her own. Do you have any experience with a decent "first" that isn't a kids machine? Someone did buy her a little pink thing for her 7th birthday, which began the sewing learning experience. However, it was so bad that I quickly put her on my Husqvarna Designer SE. She handled that machine like a pro. I think I'd like to spend no more than 400 dollars if possible. Right now she is doing pillows and quilts. I'd like her to have lessons from a pro as we don't have much time to spend together at the moment.
