Brother 1500S. Have others, but for for a good solid straight stitch and FMQ, I've doubt there is better. I paid 525 about 2 years ago, but I think they are 600 or 700 now. Well worth the price. Babylock Jane is the same machine, usually more expensive for the fancier name. But machines are identical.

The harp space is higher and more rectangular than other 9" harp space machines and you can easily get a King sized quilt through this machine.

Allbrands will have something for you. I bought a Juki for $800.

I recently purchased a Husqvarna Tribute from 2012, a discontinued model with a LARGE throat. Currently quilting a king on it with no issues! I got a great price on it as it was a close out, under $1000.

7700 is 11".

What is the throat space on the 6600 and the 7700? Thanks!

Do u really need fancy stitches. If not then check out the straight stitch machines.

There's also the Pfaff Grand Quilter and Husqvarna Viking Mega quilter, both have a 9" throat, vertical bobbin. Straight stitch only. I don't know if they're still being made.

I have the Brother 1500s and have had it since 2000. A real workhorse and never complains......I also have a Janome 6600 which has an 11" throat. Both are good machines, but the Brother is just a straight stitch and the Janome does many types of stitches......
