[It's so limited though. only a 4x4 hoop.
Thanks for the info.[/QUOTE]
You will find that you are so limited with a 4x4 in hoop and may get bored really fast and then that great price that you thought your machine was isn't so great anymore. Lets face it, once you walk out of the store you'll lose alot of money if you go to sell it. You may want to check around to find one that has larger hoops; even it doesn't come with a larger hoop see how large of one you can go up to. My Ruby came with a small 4x4 and then a really large 360x200. Since then I've bought others ranging in different ones ranging in sizes including the 8x8 quilters hoop and the endless hoop where you can keep feeding fabric thru and do a long continous design or make long strands of lace, etc. The point is I can grow into my machine instead of growing out of really fast.
