I second that 100%. My Brother is about 10 years old now and she sews as well today as the first day I took her out of the box. Since she only goes forwards and backwards, there was not a lot of fancy stuff to learn.....I bought an Elna Quilters Pro over the summer and altho I love her, I need to keep the book handy!! See if you can find a Brother 1500, at a sewing machine dealer that was taken in on a trade....new, they are about 800 and I would expect to find one used for about 500 or so with a good warenty. Your wife will LOVE it.....I've quilted King size quilts with this baby.....the throat size is wonderful.
