I am looking for the same thing. I need more room since I am quilting on a handi quilter frame. Or trying to anyway. I have measured all my sewing machines, yes I have several, too many, and the best so far is my old Bernina. It is seven inches plus. I have been watching Craigslist, and have seen a few that would work great, but I never have the money when I find them. Oh well, maybe someday.
