Manufacturers need to wise up on what quilters want.
When will they make a simple machine with a bigger throat? It shouldn't have to be an expensive machine just bigger. All I want is a large throat for FM quilting and a straight stitch. Doesn't have to be super fast, electronic, or super heavy duty. Old Singers seem to have huge throats, so I know they started out that way. Why pay big bucks for a commercial machine? Anyone else feel this way?

I know they are businesses, but I think they would sell alot of machines to people like me who don't want the fancy electronics, just more space. I am looking into the Juki's. I have several friends with one.

Or maybe it's because not all quilters want the same thing. I want a larger throat space but I also want programmable stitches, multiple needle positions, needle up/down, etc, etc.
Juki makes a straight stitch only, high speed machine for a reasonable price. Having a heavy duty machine is not a bad thing when you're doing hours of fairly high speed sewing. I had one and sold it to help pay for the Janome 6600.
Sewing machines are even more of a personal choice than a car. You just have to keep looking until you find the one that suits your needs.
