She needs to buy the best SHE can afford.
I also have the Bernina 830. It is expensive, but has been worth every penny to me. It is so user friendly and can do so much. I had a Brother before, and it wasn't nearly as user friendly, but then it was one of the first Brother embroidery machines. I'm sure they have come a long way.
