Maybe her sophmore year she'll take her sewing machine, who knows.
Talk to her about it.


She's not coming back except for Christmas for the next 4-6 years unless
she ends up having to drop out to work more to pay for her tuition. And
we both agree that she cannot take a machine with her -- they are all
too big to take as carryon, and my dad flew for TWA for 40 years before
he retired and I know too many horror stories about checked-in luggage
that I will not let her take one as check-in luggage.


This part I didn't know. That makes more sense now. You hadn't said she
did say she wanted one, and that's why I was pushing the "talk to her
and make sure she wants one."

I hope you both find one you agree on.
