How cute, my DD is 2 1/2 and I packed away my brother XL-3500i away for her, she loves to watch me sew so maybe when she is about 4 I will start to teach her, but she is already a fabriholic, she has to touch all the bolts in the stores, look at all the magazines, I can already see a sewer and quilter in her. She is very bright. I bet you DGD will enjoy her new brother. They are great little machines for the cost. Have had 3 low ends and I love them all. Their high ends are awesome as well. At what age did you start teaching her, just curious?

She'll never forget her first machine! My DGD started sewing alone when she was 4. She used my best machine too. The younger they learn hand to eye skills the better they will grow to be deft. Did you know girls that played jacks, did the sewing cards, played with miniature tea sets had much better can - do ability? Same with boys playing marbles and doing model kits.

You go Gramma! My parents got me one of those cheap toy machines when I was about that age. I used it maybe twice and was upset because it was not what I saw coming off Mom's machine.She started letting me use her's and that is the one I have today. She is a lucky little girl.
