I agree with thimblebug, you should both go shopping for a machine for her. It really all depends on what she is planning to sew. Is she wanting to make quilts? or is she planning on sewing for you and her? Or is she planning to do both. There are so many questions that go into the purchase of a machine. Not only that, she needs to be able to test out the machines. So I suggest your local sewing machine merchant. Find one that you like, one that has good customer service and you enjoy going into their store. Also when purchasing from your local merchant they should offer lessons on the machine. This is very important with new machines, especially someone new to sewing as well. Also prices can vary so much, from just a couple hundred dollars to a couple thousand dollars or even more. But the most important thing of all is that she likes the machine. Make sure she tries out as many of them as possible. Good luck and your a very special hubby to be thinking of doing this for her.
