Thank you for your response, and follow up! You are correct about the Verve, and I definitely need the bigger hoop. So, I have it narrowed to Husqvarna Topaz or Brother Innovis 1600e. I want the Brother, but the only local store that carries Brother has been a hot mess to deal with. Really nice people, just completely disorganized, and it makes me concerned for when the machine will need servicing. The Viking is more expensive and I don't love the screen interface as much as the Brother, but the salesperson is really knowledgeable and attentive. Leaning towards ordering the Brother online.
