I'm helping DD make her own quilt...

Please don't take this wrong because I mean it with love but if she can use an iron, she can be trusted to learn how to use a sewing machine. She is a bright and creative, darling little girl. Sit her on your lap and let her "sew" while you control the pedal. When she proves she can handle that, place the pedal on a stool and let her use the pedal while you hold the fabric. I am certain that this precious little girl will get the hang of it in no time. HUGS!!!

I am so glad that you didn't take advice to my suggestion! Try putting a thick sponge between the pedal and the base so that she cannot push the pedal down all the way. It will act like a governor. I really want to see her quilt when it is done.
