Have fun deciding.

I agree with either of these machines, this is right on for your price point. The next step up would be a full out Mid arm machine. What you are shopping for is throat space (the space between the needle and the housing.
These machines are :
Long 6"X9" Arm Space Right Of Needle

9" is from needle to head of machine

6" is height from sewing bed to top of underarm

Note...both these machines only do a straight stitch but its a quilting machine and thats whats needed. And they are high speed which is nice. I commend you on your efforts to find your wife the perfect machine.
