Depends on whether she is coming into this completely new or not, and whether this is an advanced course?
My mum has a Bernina which has lasted for about 30+ yrs.
I had a Singer which I left back in Oz. It was med-priced.
Currently have a very basic Brother which I got as a present and it does pretty much everything I need it to. I'm not doing really advanced stuff, but could make a skirt or something if I could be arsed.
I do miss the Singer, as it's much better, you get what you pay for. But the Brother does the job. It's fine.
I guess it's like buying a bike....
