Yup live and learn...I started out w/Husq Viking EM10 only with 4x4 hoop. Within 4 mths I upgraded to Husq Viking SE combo sewing/emb...I love that machine but largest width on hoops were 6 inches up to 13 inches long...So after 12 yrs I just treated myself to the Husq Viking epic where you can use Mega Hoops up to 13 x 14 and good thing is all my other hoops from SE can be used with it so have a good amt of sized frames along with the 3 larger hoops that came w/Epic...I shouldn't want another machine for a long time if ever in my lifetime...
