Get her a good machine. Teach her to not get her finger under the needle. Getting a machine small enough and lightweight enough that it won't put a needle thru a finger also means it probably won't be much of a machine and will be frustrating to use. Millions of kids learned to sew on their mom's Singer and lived to tell about it with all 10 fingers intact.
