If your machine is comparable to the Babylock Destiny your machine can handle the 9.5x14 hoop, if it is comparable to the BL Unity (I also upgraded) your machine can handle the 8x12 (this is what I purchased). Be aware that when you are quilting in the hoop the majority of your quilt should be to your left not your right. Having too much on the right impedes the movement of the embroidery arm.
