The dealer I bought from didn't carry anything smaller than the 780D. That's the one I got, it has the 5x7 hoop. I've had it two weeks now and just love it. With a few minutes of instructions, and one weekend of playing, I am producing things I never knew i could do. It's great!! My machine is embroidery only. I love it that way because I can be sewing while it is working. I do not regret my purchase. So far its done all I've wanted. The software for creating monograms was more than I wanted to pay, but I did it anyway. Figured, If I was going to do it, do it. Now i just have to study to figure the software out. Shouldn't have to upgrade for a while. I just wanted to be able to compliment my quilting with some embroidered blocks every now and then!
