Huge hoop, 7 1/2 x 11 1/2, but you can split a design into 4 parts, so you can make a huge design if you want
You can use any design..you aren't locked into the brand that your machine is..they can read all of the design formats out there..where others only use designs in their formats
You can easily enlarge/reduce any design to get just the size you need for your project
Software is really easy to learn
Both of my machines came with a software bundle that allows me to make my own designs (digitize), and photostitch..converts pictures to a cross stitched design
You can use any font on your computer
Saved the best for last...the new machine that I have lets you pull the hoop off of the machine(to change a bobbin, for instance), and never gets out of line...even my older machine can get off, and it ruins the designs, this is a real plus...cannot say enough good things about the Singer machines!
