Is there a machine out there with a long throat, 11 inches would be nice, that also has some simple decorative stitches such as applique and zig zag? I'd like a machine like this but I don't want a fancy embroidery machine. Any suggestions?

The Janome Horizon 7700 is what you are looking for. Hard to beat a Janome.

I just got a Pfaff Expression 3.0. Sounds like just what you're needing. There's also 2.0 and 4.0 versions. The throat is 10" and it has lots of nice stitches for applique. The 3.0 retails around $2100. I got mine on eBay a couple of weeks ago for just over $900, never been used.
