I have to agree. A sewing machine is too personal for anyone but the user to pick out. $600 is a large enough amount that she probably won't be replacing it soon and should get one she really loves this time. But it is a sweet idea - a card and a check would be a good way to handle it.
Besides, think of the fun she will have trying out machines.
