I have the Lily 545 and love it! Yes, I also have an embroidery machine but my Lily is the machine I go to all the time for my piecing and applique. I agree with Sandra...it is a real workhorse. I am just guessing here but I think your daughter could probably get one in the 400-600 range. I bought mine used and gave just over 1000 for it several years ago. If I were looking at purchasing another Lily, that is what I would be willing to pay anyway. I will also say that when I upgrade my embroidery machine, it will be the one I trade off...not my Lily. I will be keeping her.
