embroidery is fun. I also thought I was going to just do labels and such, but luckily i got a larger combo because i wasn't sure if i would want to trade up after a smaller one. I can honestly tell you I made the right decision because i love my machine and have used almost all my hoop sizes even my 7x12 and I like to know I am not limited. Some quilt patterns/designs require a minimum of 10 inches so keep that in mind. look at purple daisies and sharon schamber has some gorgeous embroidery design heres one to kind of give you an idea of what you can do
