I am sure they will all want suggestions on what machine to buy if they decide they want to get serious with this. None of them would pay $Ks for a sewing machine, so I am thinking this Brother might be a good idea for them. Can you get it at Walmart? I am sure that will be their first question when I suggest one. I am taking two machines with me--one of my FWs, and a Singer that I bought at Walmart on sale. The FW will be WITH ME, and if the baggage people break the Singer, it cost me $350, you know.....I'll be watching this post all this week until I get ready to fly, so any suggestions you ladies have for me, come on down.
