Ok you guys I finally had a awwwwwwwe moment and realized what machine I need to give the granddaughters who sew! I am going to refinish the little oak cabinet - I put in the cargo unit - that the pink Sterling came in, and give that one to the girls. One of the girls is using it anyway - here - making a rag quilt so she is already use to the machine. That machine will be perfect for them! It drops its feed dogs, has zig zag, is a pretty pink for girls, and will sew through most anything! It is a dedicated left hand needle, but that won't matter for what the girl's are doing - making bags/back packs, sun glass cases, hemming/cutting off jeans! It will be perfect and I will feel good about it as I paid too much for the machine - couldn't sell it for what I paid - but, if the girls have it and love it - it won't matter![ATTACH=CONFIG]349932[/ATTACH]
