Shelbie, the machine you described is what I have...the Brother Dreamweaver XE. It's a combo embroidery/sewing/quilting. The throat area is 11.5. It has a laser that guides for straight stitching, all the different types of stitches you described, push button start, plus foot and knee control. It has needle up/down, thread cutter, push button raise/lower the needle. The walking foot is not built in but it is a special type of foot that can handle multiple thickness and different types of fabric such as leather, denim, upholstery. It gives messages to rethread the machine if it's not threaded correctly, rather than having to guess at what is wrong! It's more expensive that you stated but to me it's well worth the price. I've had this machine a month and have barely scratched the surface of what it can do.
