My cousin is a junior in high school and has quite the talent for Japanese anime art. She belongs to a few clubs and would like to digitize her art and make / sew patches at various shows and other events. If I understand her correctly, she is looking to have something small for now, but help finacially when she goes off to college in a couple of years. She is at the beginning stages of her research, so I am trying to help her where I can. She has looked at a few other machines (Brother, Pfaff, Bernia, etc) and to start, it may not be a bad idea to get one of those until she sees exactly what she will need. In either case, thanks again for your inputs.
