It had really great reviews, and was said to be a &#8220;workhorse&#8221; of a machine. Sounded good to me! I wanted to buy a machine in town over the weekend, but found that the price was much better online.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I saw this really cute 3\/4 sized Janome Hello Kitty Sewing Machine! Oh, how I wish Violet was old enough to use it. She has been wanting me to teach her how to sew. But, a 3 year old handling a needle and thread doesn&#8217;t sound too smart.<\/p>\n<p>I am so tempted to buy this machine for her now and give it to her in oh, 4 years? I have visions of us sewing animal pillows together, side by side.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I would make her sew my Gingiber pillow&#8230;.er&#8230;..um&#8230;. yeah&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My machine will arrive on Thursday, so I have had to take a break from pillow making. Which is nice.
