Hi Lisa
Below are a couple of links to ebay 2 machines i am thinking they are on Ebay you can check them out :)
I really would like what you call large throat! so that i can fit my quilt nicely without having a really big bulk of material i have to maneuver.

I just bought a new Brother 1500s. It is a straight stitch only machine with a 9 inch throat. Throat space was my big requirement because I have a smaller machine that does fancy stitches.
