I have a Viking 1+ which did a 4x4. I bought the larger hoop - 5x7 - but never used it. I think the designs for this hoop had to be split.
So when I decided to upgrade, I looked for machines with much larger hoops. Specifically, I wanted approximately 8x8 and 8x10. Figured that buying once was cheaper than buying as I outgrew embroidery field sizes. I chose the Babylock Ellisimo. (Yes, lots of $$ but it was my gift to myself after years of catering to everyone else's needs.) I also considered the Janome MC11000SE which is also a very nice machine. My reason for choosing the Babylock was that the technology was several years newer and I didn't want to wait for the new Janome coming out this fall. |
Your Crazy Patch Quilt is stunning! Someday I would like to make one, too, and use up some of my scraps.

I just finished today a Crazy Patch Quilt using the machine embroidery. It is small so will probably use it as a wall hanging. When I figure out how to post pictures I will post it on here. Eldene from Central Illinois |
I just bought a Bernina Bernette Deco 600, and have tried it once. It has about a dozen of the cards, and it was a good deal - bought it with a Singer 301. I'll keep the 301, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to re-home the Bernina. Embroidery machines just aren't my thing I guess. I'd rather hand embroider I guess. It has all the stuff that goes with it, the instruction manual, accessories, the works. Anyone interested?

I have a Viking Designer 1 and a Viking Diamond, love them both, but Janome also makes great machines.
Good luck deciding. |
Your crazy patch looks wonderful. I love the backing and also the front work looks very nice. Sue
