I recently was in Target and found a Brother XL3750 sewing machine on sale.. it even has a "quilting package" with it, and has very nice features. I got it on special and it was only $99. This week I was looking just out of curiosity and there was the same machine with all of the quilting "dodads" and the regular price is $141.00.. I think it's a wonderful machine and a great value. you could give her a gift certificate for fabric with it at that price.
