I would look at the brother 1500 they run about 500 but they are straight stitch and larger harp. It will be hard to find a larger harp for 300 than another machine that will be the same size as your current brother. Have you tried doing it in sections on your brother and splitting the batting. Craftsy has a class quilting on small machines by ann petersen, the classes are currently on sale. I love ann petersen, might be worth trying out if you can't afford a larger machine.
