Just wanted to share a picture of a very happy granddaughter. It was her 10th birthday last week and her mother wanted to get her a "real" sewing machine. My granddaughter had a child's sewing machine that was really difficult to get to work but she determinedly would make little things. There aren't many sewing machines to choose from right now. I'm assuming it's because not as many have been made with the Covid situation and we've also had worldwide shipping bans.
I had my mother's little Singer Featherweight downstairs, 1946 model. It hadn't been touched in over 20 years and probably more like 40 years. But, my daughter took it in to a local lady who services Featherweights and for $55 my granddaughter got a 'real' machine that will last her a good long time.
Although my mother has been gone for 21 years I'm sure she's pleased to know a great granddaughter is gratefully receiving this legacy.

Your beautiful granddaughter looks so very happy with her new Featherweight. It will be a breeze for her to sew on, especially after the struggles of the machine she was using. And I'm sure your mom is smiling down from Heaven, knowing that the machine she loved will continued to be loved by her great-granddaughter.
Awesome! Beginning with the best too! Wishing her many happy stitches! :-)
