What does the machine come with? Should I plan to purchase anything so that my daughter can start to sew on Christmas morning?

Super gift.She will LOVE it. It comes with needle and bobbin already. Just buy her thread and fabric and she can sit and sew the moment she opens. My sister-in-law who's 39 bought this sewing machine for my niece. She has since ditched her own Singer and uses her daughters. Quiet.User friendly.Simple to thread. Simple manual to follow.Seriously, you will love it! Happy Shopping! I don't know your daughter, but i am so excited for her!!

Accessories. It does not come with the machine. That is a separate purchase. I use a NuBrilliance Machine.

Machine not needed at all but could be useful. The package comes with various fabric pieces and trims. The model is soft bodied so that the pins provided can stick in easily to hold fabric and trims in place. My Granddaughter spent many hours at age 11/12 creating fabulous evening gowns and such. I am certain that she learned a lot about the fall and drape of various fabrics. The kit comes with needles and thread but she didn't use them. In terms of entertainment she certainly got my money's worth out of this gift!

It came with the piano; a book to identify all the options (lots of different tunes automatically played, you can change the instrument sound, etc - lots of buttons); power cord; USB cord to connect to your computer & a disk that can download into a PC or MAC. This was a Christmas gift for my 5 year old. We have not hooked it up the computer yet, but she loves playing with it all the time. It has a standard microphone jack as well - she plugs in her mic and performs for the whole family. Her voice is amplified through the built in speakers on the keyboard. Very reasonable price & we are enjoying playing with it now & look forward to growing into it more with web lessons.

Sounds like a good idea. Try it. Access to a sewing machine would be really handy.

My niece hasn't learned to sew yet at all. It comes with a lot of pins and basically, she was pinning everything in place and then taking it apart after showing it to her mom or me or some other adult. I assume that she will eventually get to the sewing part of it, but she was having a lot of fun without sewing at all.

It depends on a couple of things. First, how strong is your interest in sewing? This may sound stupid, but if you are not sure you are going to enjoy the art of sewing I would buy the least expensive thing possible that will still yield good results. That is what I did. The Sewist 500 fit the bill perfectly for me to learn how to sew. It is basic and mechanical, so it is virtually indestructible for novice sewers. However, after about a year, I realized the machine was not going to meet my needs for the long term. At that point, I began investigating alternatives and purchased a mid-arm Juki that is specifically for quilting. I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do and does it beautifully. So, the second part for you to consider is what is your sewing interest and how accomplished are you? If you are a novice and are uncertain, then stick with the Sewist. It is very much a generalist machine. Does it have 30 different stitches? No. Do you need 30 different stitches? Not unless you plan to do embroidery. If that is your plan, you may find you outgrow the 8077 pretty quickly, too. If you already have an interest established, look for the machine that best sets you up to follow that passion. I also highly recommend going to fabric stores etc to test machines. Don't just read about them online and then buy. Seriously, each one has a different personality. Find the one that fits you.

I bought this for my Daughter for Christmas, it has many stitch settings it comes with a pkg of needles, several empty bobbins,a seam ripper, horizonal thread holder option, and a couple of different presser feet. and a button holer attachment. It sews great and sets very sturdy on the table, not wobbly like some. The auto threader isn't completely automatic, but is great! That's about all I can remember, it is a great value for the price!! Love it!!

As described in other answers, your basic attachments, screwdriver, quilt guide, 3 bobbins, and note that the cover is a cloth cover. Unless you plan to leave your machine out, you might want to purchase a hard case for the machine. I did that, and it was only $20, and there is plenty of room for a few other small items, since this machine is not big. Incidentally, I love this little machine.

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

Yes but you don't even need much in the way of instructions. My 6 year old granddaughter uses it safely and she had a blast on it. The hardest part is realigning new needles to the foot and just by being told that should help you. We love this machine. I'm trying to make time to create landscape art on it now. Also check YouTube. Lots if stuff there.

It comes with a cording presser foot,blind hem/universal guide foot,curve/ pearl foot,beading presser foot, gathering presser foot, blind stitch presser foot, piping presser foot, elastic tape sewing presser foot and the reg presser foot. I haven't tried any of the other presser feet but they look sturdy and should work well. I have loved working with this machine. It is great.

All of the material for the actual doll is in the kit. There is a list of things you will need......stuffing, lace, ribbon, & what colors of embroidery floss. It's not very much of anything but nothing else is included.

What comes with it are samples I ordered extra at the time I ordered the machine

Same exact machine, however for the difference in price, you get two extra hoops, a starter kit with thread, and a disc with extra designs. But, machine comparison, they are the same. It's up to you whether you want to spend the extra money now, or buy the extra items as you need them. Either way, it's a great machine.
