I can't figure out what you want. A sewing machine you sat down to and can piece a quilt top and quilt a small size top. It's a lot harder on larger quilts, so you need to look at how big the harp of the machine is.
A Quilting machine is one that you stitch the top, batting and backing together. They make a set down mid arm and a long arm is a stand up.
Sounds like you need to take your wife to the store and see what she wants or put a picture and check in the gift box.
Someone said that it's a woman hobby, but I have seen lots of men at my quilt classes. And they seem to be better than lots of ladies.
Hope you both have a Merry Christmas and good luck on your choice.
