If I were you I would look at a better model. Brothers are good machines but the model you are looking at is very basic and your GD will grow out of it quickly. I would at least look at the BM2600 or the BM3500. Yes these are more costly but they give you more options. Generally you get what you pay for so my advice would be to spend as much as you can afford I'm sure your GD will like what ever you buy.
