She wants me to have something I'll be able to use.

Thanks much for your input!
I have a Brother Nouvelle 1500s which is a straight stitcher. It has a 9.5'' throat and flat bed. It is by far the best machine I have found for domestic machine quilting. You thread it from the side and you also change the bobbin from the side. There is a felting attachment with this machine that will cost extra.
