Juki makes a comperable machine to the Brother 1500 for near the same price. These two are the only two on the market with the larger throat at this low of a price....I'm saving up for either one of these. I just don't understand why it is so much more expensive to have a larger throat space...its something we ALL want (hello manufacturers)
