What a great husband! I'd also add, does she want to do the entire quilt or does she want to sew the tops? You can do a complete quilt on a simple machine. Does she like all the bells and whistles or a simple machine? I have an old singer cast iron 15-91, does straight stich but a work horse. I've done entire quilts on it . I learned on it and still my favorite machine as I got better I bought a different machine that did more stitches but I don't want one with a ton of computer buttons and stitches. Is she a beginner? If so start simple then as she progresses let her find a more intricate machine. If she's experienced she might want to pick out a machine with you. My husband bought my singer on ebay for 75.00 n I love it use it almost every day!! Good luck let us know what she gets and what she thinks!!
