So cute! Are you going to make a doll dress to have with it?

Grandmother used her to make doll clothes when she was a little girl, which gives us her approximate age!
I put her next to the normal sized Pfaff just to give you an idea of her size!

Nancy, it's so cute! I love that you took a picture of her next to a regular machine. Thanks!

Other folks have said it was working for them...
