4 Singer 99s + 1,000 kids = great fun
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]607667[/ATTACH] 3 of us gave our 99s a workout when 1,000 kids came through the Ks History Museum for KS day. Went through several bobbins as they kids sewed bookmarks. Sometimes family or teachers would take a spin, too Some kids snuck back to do it again. We always take an extra machine so we can grab another if a bobbin runs out during a rush. All were handcranks.

Looks and sounds like everyone had a great time!

It is great to hear that we have such great ambassadors.
Thank you!

Love seeing kids with sewing machines! If only one (and probably way more than one will) continues on sewing after this experience then you have done a great job. You are a great missionary for the sewing community.

I have a good time with it. One little girl did a great 1/4" seam just eyeballing it. I said, "You've done a bunch of sewing already." She grinned and said, "Two quilts and other things." I told her how Impressed I was. She beamed.

Our third helper, ( GF's grandson) is 21 and had ignored the sewing machines around her place. We gave him a crash course and he had a good time. He also had lots of questions for us. We'll have to let him play with a treadle next.

What a blast, Leon!!!
