Default Brother pe500 embroidery machine ?

Just unpacked it.
Very cute little machine.
Anybody have one? Can you resize the too small designs? It only has a 4 in hoop and the one design I tried is only about 2 in high.
Im not familiar with embroidery machines so this is going to be a learning experience.
How do you download from the computer? It does have a USB hookup cable.
Do I need to buy that $100 software?
Saw lots of designs on the Sick website, they seem reasonable to buy.
I really want to use it for quilt blocks. Do you have to do quilt as you go or can you hoop a small quilt and do designs in the blocks?
Any advice would be appreciated.
