I love, love, love my 6600. It does everything I ask it to do, and I make a lot of quilts and bags. The walking foot is amazing, but even without it, the feed is so even when piecing, I rarely pin anymore. I doubt this is a purchase she will regret. I'd buy mine again if necessary, and hate to think of purchasing anything else for my girls when they need a machine of their own. (They are spoiled and call dibs on the 6600 when they are both sewing a project at the same time. )

Me too.i've had one for about the same time. I do a lot of applique. I like that you have a couple of different types of blanket stitches you can use which come in handy with different shapes and widths so you can do just a light stitch or a heavy stitch with it. I love the sizzers and stop start button. I never did put my foot pedal on it.

I love my 6600. I did not know I needed a new machine - had been sewing on my old Bernina since 1977, but hubby felt guilty when he bought a new sax, and the next thing I knew, I had the 6600. I have been using it heavily since then, and am so happy to have the foot down feature, my knee lift, the walking foot, and many types of stitches. I have done applique happily with it - it has several versions of the blanket type stitch. I highly recommend it!
