............... and please do not let her feel pressured to purchase that day!!
The day one objective might merely be for her to do some test drives ... and take home the brochures to compare features and consider what she wants. If she has been using her machine for a long time, she may not know what all exists out there ... and may not have been keeping eyes on the updates.
She'll want to purchase wisely, especially when spending your money! And too, perhaps an embroidery machine will not be what she wants. She might be happier for a better sewing machine she has, and with the newer features, etc.
