Since you didn't specify frame quilting (for which a straight stitch only machine might be best), let me recommend that you consider the Baby Lock Quest Plus (I have it and LOVE it) or Serenade, or the similar Pfaff Smarter C1100 Pro, Elna 7300 or Janome 6600. All well under $2000, even as low as $1000. If you do plan to use a frame, the Juki straight stitch 2010 has been as low as $600 and then you could use another machine for sewing and piecing. Good luck!

I have a Babyloc Jane $850.00 NEW and a Juki TL98QE $699.00 NEW and I like them both, Juki is heavier and heavier feet. Sewa as much and as long as I want too. I only do FMQ and straight stitching, don't need any other stitches.

I got a more expensive machine but the financing was for about 2 or 3 years with no interest. So I put my money in a separate savings account and then had automatic payments til I could pay it off.
Got the Pfaff Creative Vision. Other than my FW it will be the last machine I plan on buying.

I have a Viking Sapphire that I bought new for $1100 but it is not for use on a frame. It has lots of great features and should be alot cheaper used. It has a 10 inch throat.
I also have the Baby Lock Jane set up on a long arm table.
The table is an Imperial and with the Jane it cost $1500 at my local shop brand new. Jane is a strait stitch and is the same machine as the Brother 1500. I added a stitch regulator to it for another $500. With tax and delivery and set up it cost me $2300.
I can only do a 4 inch design per row because of the 9 inch throat.

I don't know how you feel about buying an expensive item on Ebay, but there is a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0 auction that ends in about 4 hours for $1399. I love this machine and paid just under $2000 for it last year. Has a 10 inch throat and all of the bells and whistles you can imagine, including the IDT (built in walking foot. My dealer is having a special on this machine I think for $1799, and the QE 3.0 is $1299 w/10 inch throat but less bells & whistles.
Good luck and have fun w/whatever you decide :-)
