Started with Brother SE350 it only had 4 x 4 hoop, sold it and bought the innovis 1250D that has the 5 x 7, wish now I had saved more and gotten the one up that has the 6x x 10, mine has the 6 x 10 hoop, but only the 5 x7 embroidery field, which what is really important. The larger hoops are sometimes only for saving re hooping, and if you think you may want to quilt in the hoop, consider that the smaller dimension is the governing size if you want a square. :D
