Free motion embroidery, which size hoop
Hi,
I'm considering trying some free motion embroidery and would like to get a hoop. I have a Pfaff 7550 with a traditional 7" inch distance from inside of arm to needle. I've seen some videos that recommend 9" hoops. I'm wondering if there's much difference between working with a 9" or a 10". The Morgan hoops come highly recommended and I figure a 10" hoop would be more versatile?
My main concern is if the hoop is too big, it will get tippy while I'm working, won't be as stable. I don't have an extension table for my machine. On the other hand, I'm considering getting a machine with a larger throat space, so a larger hoop might be nice.
Advice or suggestions? Thanks.
