I have that machine. It was very easy to learn how to use it. It says it can use up to a 5 x 7 hoop, but I have a 5 x 12 hoop I use on it as well.
I ordered mine from here:

And I also bought the Grand slam package too. I ordered my 5 x 12 hoop off of Amazon.com. That set came with a 4 x 4, a 5 x 7 and the 5 x 12 along with a few spool of thread. So now I have two 5 x 7 hoops for the machine. Which is great from making embroidered blocks quicker.
