The brother dreamweaver VQ3000 is above your price range, but it is an exceptional machine and I recommend you look at it. I have the combo and it has been the best machine I have ever sewn on. it has the muvit foot which is comparable to IDT if not better because the speed is adjustable. You can probably get one for around 3000 if you haggle. it FMQ beautifully, and harp is 11.25 inches, and the laser helps you sew straight, decorative stitches are just gorgeous when sewed out. I have been really impressed with the muvit foot so don't leave the store without trying it out.
