worth every penny!

i bought the largest size available for my make/model.
that way i won't have to buy any other sizes.

no more stretching the quilt out of shape trying to get a taut embroidery surface.
i still have to tug here and there to get it taut but since it's all flat between the top and bottom hoops it doesn't leave marks or permanent changes to the quilt sandwich shape, etc.

they are expensive but worth saving up for if you can't fit it into your budget right now.
