Mini Sewing Machine for Beginners

My sewing experience is super limited... with a whole troop of Girl Scouts who need their badges to actually stay, I decided to get this super portable sewing machine. The instructions were really clear, excluding that you need to hold the top thread for the first few stitches to get it to stay in place. I went from zero knowledge to a full tunic of badges sewn on in practically no time. It is easy to take with me to meetings, because it is small and has a handle. It's also inexpensive enough that I am comfortable teaching my kids how to use it because if they break it, we can easily replace it. But the quality is very good, and it offers an array of stitch patterns. I only used the foot pedal, but the high and low functions are probably pretty easy, too.
