The only recommendation you should listen to is hers. No matter what you choose, unless it happens to be the one she wanted, you will be wrong.

That said, get the extended warranty no matter the brand. Sewing machines are like tires, get the warranty.

My wife quilts. She has a few machines and knows about good brands and models for specific jobs. Find out what your GF wants to make, what machines she has looked at. Come back with that and a price range and she can help you.

How much are you willing to spend? They range from under $100 for crap up into the $1000's.

My Grandmother had one for YEARS, it was so solid and had enough power to stitch clean through your finger nail.
