There is another "Hello Kitty" that is a 1/2-size version for less money and is not recommended.

If she would prefer, I think you can get basically the same machine in plain white at Sears for about the same cost.

The 3/4 size Janome is a real machine, not a toy. The Gem series of Janome machines is similar but come with more bells and whistles and a higher price.
