You can't go wrong with a Janome machine. I have 3 different ones from that brand and love each one. The oldest is over 30 years old and was sold under a Sears brand and still runs beautifully. I also have the 6500MC and the 1600P, plus a BabyLoc Jazz that I hate using unless I really have to because it's so loud compared to the Janome machines. Goodgle Janome and see what you can find that both you and your daughter like.
