I have the Babylock Spirit an embroidery only machine and I love it! the largest hoop size is 7x12 and it comes with a 5x7 as well. It has a sensor pen where you can touch the fabric where you want the design to be at or rotate it at. I traded my Babylock Ellure for it since i only used it for embroidery and I have two other Babylock sewing machines. I'm in love with the machine and very user friendly. But I do believe that you do all your research and reviews. If you can test one or any of the ones mentioned here I would recommend it. Good luck on your find!
