we tried this item as well as the Discovery Item and both have the same flaws...very difficult to use.Me Mum-in-law is an expert, and she says have them start on a real machine...I should have listened.My 6 year old wants to learn to sew clothes for her dolls, as well as become a quilter.I was really hoping that this unit would have the safety features that allow for a child----and it does, but it is so difficult to operate for an adult, that there is no way the child will figure it out.Threading is very difficult, even for small adult hands, so I simply don't see how a child will be able to operate this.Better to listen to Me Mum in Law, a wonderful and talented woman; a Master of Crafts. Use a smaller adult machine and use caution and oversight.Besides, your daughter will love the one on one interaction with a precious Mom, Grammie, or Auntie!(As a dad, I just don't cut it in this area!)

If you expected a large quantity of thread for under $5, I've got a bridge just for you! But if you are in need of a lot of colors for small projects, then this is a deal with 32 different colors to choose from. As far as the bobbins, remember that some sewing machines are quite selective as to what works, so these generic bobbins might not work.
