Have you considered getting her a gift certificate for a sewing class?

I'd have loved it if my partner had shelled out for my machine ha.
-If you do go for it, doing it via an IOU then she can pick one might be a better option? Most places do machines on 0% credit if that makes a difference.Janome 725s is a popular machine, (it says beginner, but they mean it's easy to pick up and use). Needle threader, adjustable foot pressure, 1step button hole, droppable feed dogs.
