Wrap the box with some pretty Quilting Fabric. In her card, include a gift certificate to a LWS or JoAnn.....then surprise her with the machine....What a great surprise and what fun. Have a family member take a photo of her being surprised....she will be telling everyone she knows about this wonderful gift.....that would be YOU!

Let her sit and sew and then present it to her.

What about having a small project for each of you and let her "borrow" the lily and then when you are done tell her the machine is hers. I love doing surprises like that for people.

I like the idea of setting up a sewing space and small project for her and letting her sew with Lily unaware. Surely, if she's been dealing with a problematic machine, she will gush about how easy and fun it is to sew with this one and how she'd love to get one of her own. ;) I wouldn't wrap the manual, she might want to refer to it while working on the little project, but I WOULD wrap the empty box and give it to her after she's had some fun with HER new machine!
