Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan! have been using an inexpensive Brothers machine to teach my granddaughter. She is 9 yrs old. We haven't had to many lessons and she is working on her first quilt! I sit right with her and have turned down the speed of the machine to as low as I can make it for her safety. I make sure she takes a bit of a break after each short seam. When she starts to get distracted we stop. (She tends to be a bit high strung).
I learned to sew on an old treadle and went to town making my own clothes back in the day. I think the Brothers electric is the way to do it for this generation. Again welcome to the QB and I do hope to see a great deal of you here.
