[QUOTE=Rennie;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.
I love my Vikings but they don't do the emb only, I don't think but I also want a multiple needle one which I havent seen either for them. When I get my next one it'll be multiple needle and large hoops, it'll probably be Brother. My machine has the largest hoop out there, the biggest one that I have is so large that it emb half of the design and then you flip the hoop around and it does the other side. I rarely ever use the 5x7 and less than that do I use the 4x4. Love the big hoops.
