My Scandinavia 300 embroidery machine only has a 4"x4" (100mm x 100mm) and a Plus Hoop (100mm x 170mm) but I have done MANY embroideries on the small hoops in the past ten years. My avatar shows an embroidery on toilet tissue. Sure, it would be nice to have a larger hoop but you can find yourself satisfied with creating many items with the 4x4 hoop. I make my quilt labels also.
