Looks like it depends on the size of the block and what type of quilting you want to do. I just ordered a set of hoops for my Brother PE 770. It includes a 5" X 12" for borders. Your machine and the size hoops it takes will also determine how big a total block you can do. 5" X 5" is as big a square as I can get on my machine (slightly less than that). Some patterns will let you do it in two sections, so if you measure correctly, you could move your fabric in the hoop? Haven't tried any of this yet, but will be soon!
