I'm finding I really love embroidery, but I use it mostly for making quilt blocks. my fav hoop size is 9.5" x 9.5" and my machine came with two larger and the recent upgrade comes with a large magnetic hoop. I've not tried that one yet. I don't have grandkids so a lot of fun embroidery stuff isn't on my radar.
I have a combo machine but use it mostly for embroidery as my main sewing is piecing and I use a straight stitch machine for that. I love having my embroidery machine stitching away while I'm sewing on another project.
