I've gotten in to doing quilting in the hoop stuff. Hoopsisters has some really nice designs and they are generally digitized for all size blocks from 4" up to 9". Urban threads has lots of suggestions on their website for how to use various designs so not all for quilts or tablerunners. Artistic Thread Works also has a variety of tutorials and suggestions. Actually, I imagine most of the well known sites have suggestions, but these are the ones I use most often. Oh, and MollyMine. I love her stuff - always very accurate stitchouts.
