. . things that NEED to be sturdily constructed because a baby's safety depends on it!) I love my Hello Kitty sewing machine. It has been more than adequate for my needs. from Target.com I got this in store for 1/2 off. It's very similar (if not exact) to the Janome 3125 that Hancock's sells for $129.99. My daughter loves it as it is extremely easy to use. from Target.com I have no complaints! Included with the machine is: The instruction manual, standard snap-on presser foot, buttonhole presser foot, felt for spool pin, extra needles, three plastic bobbins, a seam ripper, dust cover and of course a foot pedal. This machine unlike the Blue Hello Kitty sewing machine has a built-in light and an on/off switch. FYI - This seems to be the same machine as the Kenmore Mini Ultra (which also had great reviews) and the Janome 3/4 size sewing machine. from Target.com I wanted to learn to sew and found this at my local target on clearance. Being a hard-core hello kitty fan I took it as a sign as soon as I saw this machine that I had to get it. The machine itself is very heavy duty and the instruction booklet is very easy to follow. from Target.com She likes hers so well she wants to dump her expensive computerized machine for this one. It's light enough to take to classes for a quilter, and it does all the things you would want it to do. It's a Janome, so it can use all the Janome feet. This is NOT a toy, but a real nice basic machine. from Target.com My question though. What size bobbins does it use. The instructions don't specify and at joanns all the bobbins read not compatible with Janome...[...] from Target.com 12/21/07: I purchased this Hello Kitty Sewing Machine for two reasons. 1. from Target.com Pros: Sews a perfect stitch and runs smooth and quietly Cons: Limited stitch selection. But the stitches it does sew are perfect! The Bottom Line: The $99 Janome Hello Kitty sewing machine is an excellent sewing machine, the $50 Hello Kitty is too loud, and doesn't even have a light! from Shopping.com I bought this machine for my almost-9-yr. old granddaughter at Christmas 2006. Did some researching & looked at other machine reviews, I believe this one is made by the Janome company, same as my New Home machine. Sewing speed is slow enough to manage stitching well, stitching quality is good, this would also be great as an emergency back-up for me! from Sears.com Before I bought it, I read the reviews most of them were good and a couple were BAD. I am learning to sew and I did not want something too fast, complicated or expensive. I love Hello Kitty stuff and that's why I choose it. The instructions are easy to understand (step by step), the machine its very light, small, pretty and somehow quiet. from Target.com
