I purchase the 5x7's and then if I want to downsize the thing my machine allows me to go down by 20%. I have bought their stuff and they are cute and do a great job of making cute quilts and projects for everyone. I buy all of the time some 4x4 and some 5x7 but if I do not know what I want to make yet I go for the 5X7 as you can go either way with it. Hope this helps.
