I know when I got my Juki it was a toss up between it and your machine...I have never heard anything bad about the Brother 1500.
That being said, I was hoping for one with zigzag and a few decorative stitches..and cheaper...hopefully $3-400. I would hate for her to put a lot of money in something and then find she didn't use it. I have mentioned Janome to her, also. And that may be the best way to go but still wanted to investigate the Brothers.
