I have a Chi. It does not have an auto-shut off, which I hate- but if you are looking for that, otherwise great iron.

Y seams allow more creativity in how to put things together. They aren't that difficult.

But if you don't like them, there are usually ways to work around them. Just be creative, grid it all out,...

Are you making a bed quilt or a throw quilt. If a throw, I'd make it in the colors she likes. If a bed quilt, I'd ask her about her preferences.

My machine hated the metro, it made such terrible noises I thought I broke it! It didn't like sigma much more. I'm glad I tried just one spool before stocking up.

I would not pay hourly for a sewing service- I can't determine how fast or slow they might sew.
I would possibly pay by the inch, depending on if the total price was worth removing the hassle of me...

I don't think it can be "fixed" the way you want it to be, so I'd stop trying.
However, if you hadn't taken it apart, I don't think it needed to be fixed. It is a pretty typical top for a beginner,...
