One thing is for sure she will need to sew very slowly and a machine that has that option (rather than in the pedal) would be helpful. Also, she can use her presser foot in the down position to hold one end of the fabric as she manipulates the position of the pieces. Working with large pieces would be less frustrating. Maybe a ten inch square quilt. I just saw one of these in a quilt shop and all the customers were talking about how beautiful it was. As a matter of fact, I am thinking this quilt would be quick but make nice Christmas gifts and bought layer cakes at the LQS for that purpose.
