I just got the cs6000i (think its the same based off a google search). So far I like it. No problems with it so far. Had a 20+ish year old Kenmore before. I like the speed control. The fact that it stops with the needle down. The feet on the extender table have a tendency to fold in when working on a large quilt, that't the only "complaint" I have with it. Most of my "dislikes" are more of the learning a new machine rather than a problem with how it works. Use one machine for so long you become "old friends" :-). If you know specific about what she is looking for it to do or dislikes about a machine I'd be happy to give more specific details about certain features. I say its a great "entry level" machine.

It works fine, but has a very small throat, only about 5" or so...so...depending on what she wants to do with it, this may be something to think about. It's a great, lightweight machine to tote places, and to piece on...but I would never attempt to quilt with it. I do love the speed control, and it comes with a lot of feet...mine has lasted for a good 5 years now, I've done a ton of piecing on it, lug it to classes, all over. It is so light, that when I hurt my back and was on bedrest, I could put it on a breakfast tray and piece on it!
