I have a Sofia2, a Janome 9000 (both of which only do 4X4) and an Ellageo that takes the small 3.5" disc. Love all 3 machines - no real problems with any of them except the Ellageo sometimes does not want to read the discs. That machine is 12 years old and still the one I use for embroidery because of the 6X10 hoop size - BUT I know I will need to replace it soon. I would prefer an embroidery only machine but not sure any of them do bigger than the 5X7 designs. I do NOT want to have to hook a laptop to my machine - want one that uses a flash drive.
Any suggestion on such a machine - and does anyone that has a 5X7 only machine have any luck with splitting designs? I did not see any instructions for that at Embroidery Library.
TIA - Irene
