I had a Babylock Ellure Plus that has a 5x7 hoop and extension hoop. All of my machines are Babylock and must say they are user friendly and the cost is reasonable. I do agree though go with a dealer that offers free classes for the machine you purchase. I traded mine in two months ago for the Babylock Spirit and am very happy with it. Good luck on your research and remember to "test drive" the machines as well.
