I am not sure about your area, but where I live they teach home economics in
high school, thats where I got my first experience with sewing, do they
offer that in her school?

How about investing in sewing lessons? Buy a decent used machine at a
local
store that will teach your daughter how to get the most out of it?

And before you let her drive it on her own, make sure she understands

to
pull the fabric through the machine. A lot of beginning sewers end up
scratching the plate and breaking a lot of needles because they are
fighting the
feed dogs. A scratched plate can snag or drag at the fabric.
