   I am not sure this machine is sold through a dealer.  A new sew-er needs some hands-on help from time to time.

   If you sew and can help her, then I see no reason to not purchase the machine.

   I notice that you used "sew-er" just as I do.  I think we are in the minority as most have been using "sewist".

   Sewist sounds too communist and socialist.

   No one wants to be referred to as a seamstress - that was grandma's occupation.

   I wonder if tailors have identity issues (lol).
