An electric sewing machine requires good eye and hand coordination. The speed of the machine is controlled by a food pedal. The user of the machine must be tall enough to sit comfortably in front of the machine and have their feet on the ground to control the foot pedal. By approximately fourth or fifth grade, most children have the physical coordination to use a sewing machine, and are old enough to recognize that the sharp needle can harm them if their hands or fingers get too close to the needle. Children should use an electric sewing machine only while being supervised by an adult.

A number of sewing machine manufacturers have designed sewing machines for very young children. Some of these are powered by a hand crank and some are electric. The manufacturers print the recommended age for users of the machine on the front of the machine's packaging.
