Neesie,
When it comes to my hoops I SELDOM use my smaller hoops.
I use the 4x4 more than the smallest hoop which is like about
2x3.
In fact when I bought my Brother Innov-Is 1500d machine it
didn't come with a 2x3 hoop and I did not buy it either.
As for thread, my all time FAVORITE is the Floriani brand, but
there are others who prefer different brands.
I also buy my needles by the 100 from All-Stitch.
The website is
ALL STITCH

I just pulled the machine out of the box, this morning. Read through the manual and tried out a simple design, using a spool of C&C thread (for top thread), I'd used for an applique. Seems to work just fine . . . BUT am definitely gonna have to order a smaller hoop. Amazon.com must love me!
