Good Sewing Machine for a 7 year old?

[supermuma]

My 7 year old has been begging me for a sewing machine for about a year now...however, I do not sew and I have no idea if she could handle it and if she could what to buy!?
Any suggestions? Advice?

(I apologize if there has already been a thread on this Could you please direct me if there has?!)

I got my dd one of those simple jobbies from sorry walmart my mom bought it..... but it has just the basic stitches front, back, straight and I believe zig its also smaller, portable, and brighter coloured and pretty cheap I believe.

Perhaps you could try ebay. I think that you get battery operated ones for kids pretty cheap. I don't know how good they are, but they look cute! And if she still shows interest in sewing later one, you could buy something that both you and she could use.

Thanks for the suggestions! I would love to use it as well...just have to find the time to learn how!

Sewing machine for 7yr old...

I got a recommendation for a nice and easy sewing machine for your little one... it is called the "Sew Cute" and I found it at Hancock Fabrics. It is rather small but works like a full size sewing machine without all the fancy stitches, etc. I started my daughter out on this machine and she got the hang of it in no time. She is 11 and now has a full size machine exactly like mommy's LOL... same EXACT machine LMAO... and she does great work! Scrunchies, purses, clothes, blankets, etc... so see if you might find one of those for your lil'one... it ran me about $20 at the time... good luck!
