class=gmail_quote>The age of the child that will be sewing is a
consideration but "child" sewing machines are not worth it imho. Why spend
money on a machine that is designed to break and not last very long, when
you can spend the same 100 dollars or less and get a used machine that
will last. What I would recommend is look in the pawn shops, and
thrift stores for a "White" brand or "Singer" brand machine that is basic.
It should have a straight stitch and a zig-zag stitch. Metal construction is
important for keeping the machine from wiggling and walking while it is
being used. Test it to see if it runs in the store, it may need to to
be serviced but that is not very expensive. I learned on my mother's "old"
machine which had 2 stitches but was reliable. If your child takes off with
sewing then eventually you can help them pick a fancier machine but the two
is all you need to begin with. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><BR><BR
