It does have some nice size hoops but I agree with Rhonda K, 10x6 embroidery area is not real common, It would be good for wording or you could reboot the fabric several times for a border. I would download the manual and read about the machine and it's capabilities before purchasing it. The manual should answer your questions, if not call them. Every machine I've ever purchased did come with a manual, as well as an online downloadable one. I like that because if you loose the manual you can get it online.
