I have a Brother SQ9000 that I bought at Wal Mart several years ago. They have the SQ9050 now and maybe even a newer one but I love my little machine. I did have an issue with one thing, the reverse button stuck once and all I could do stitch backwards. I called Brother and sent it for repair, to make a long story short by the time that it was shipped to the repair guy the button was "unstuck". He sent it back to me as is and it has sewn great ever since. I paid around $200 for it and it has done great. If it totally quit working today, I can say that I have honestly gotten my money's worth. If she is interested in quilting a quilt, the throat is small but I have done throws and baby quilts on it. The feed dogs do drop on these machines and they come with a walking foot and I think a free motion foot (not for sure but I know that I have one). Good luck on helping your friend with buying a machine!!!
