Question
I am trying to find a machine similar to the one I had as a child.  It was green, had a wheel that turned on the side and did stitch fabric.  It was lightweight and had suction
cups on the bottom.  Can you help me with the brand name or
where to find one.  Thanks!

Answer
Hello Glenna.  I'm afraid I can't help you with childrens' sewing machines, but there are books out on them and I see them listed often on ebay.  I bet there is a collecting group, as well.  You might have some luck searching the internet.  Good luck with your quest.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help...that just isn't my area of expertise.  Barbara
