I have found that the low end Brother machines preform very well for the money paid. I dont have that particular machine, but I have a cheaper model from that one that is my emergency back up machine and right now I am sewing on a Brother PC-420 (which I love!)
If your daughter sews garments, she will love the buttonholes that the brother machines do. It should have enough get up and go to sew through anything but very very thick stacks of fabric too. Quilting is another story. It will do fine for piecing a quilt, but if she actually wants to try machine quilting she will find that the harp space is much too small to do anything but the smallest of wall hangings.
