text: This is not worth buying, The foot petal is very poor quality. I will be trying to return. Bought it for a 9 year old birthday present, we have tried to use for 4 months off and on and it does not work steady. If your child wants to sew just buy a full size machine and let them work on quality equipment, it will give better success! I am a professional seamstress and was hopeful but.....wanted something more lite weight, not worth it!!
