What is the largest hoop size you can embroider? My current machine will do 5 x 7 but I can't find any more info about this one having anything larger

The hoop size for this machine is 4 x 4. That's the largest it will be. CORRECTION: My machine came with a 4 x 4 frame. I just checked my manual a frame up to 4 x 6-7/8 is optional. Therefore my first reply is incorrect.

The machine tells you which hoop will work best for your project. Hope this helps.

Most of the designs are 4.33x4.33 inches. If your machine allows you to resize they will go under the 4" that your machine uses. I was able to get most of them to about 3.93x3.93 and under. I hope this will help. Diana J

I bought this for my wife and here is her answer as she has both machines. The project is a good machine and is also a sewing machine where the 770 is not. The 770 is faster, much faster and will take up to a 5x7 hoop where the project will only take a 4x4 hoop. Both are good machines, it depends on what features you are wanting.

Heather, A larger hoop allows you to sew a 4x4 design, and then move down and do another 4x4 design without having to re-hoop. It does not allow your machine to sew a larger design. You are still limited to the embroidery area the machine will sew at one time. Thank you,

I use the frame to hold a piece of fabric so I can do hand embroidery on it. It would hold a piece that is 12x14 or 17x22 because you could unsnap and reposition the fabric to work on various design elements in different areas of the fabric. The 5x7 would be too small for this frame, but I believe you can also get it in smaller sizes.

I think it would depend on the size. My two are medium made as short as possible so the embroidery covers the whole visible space. No spare room. I have 16 characters plus 3 spaces max.

I have a Brothers PQ 1500S straight stitch sewing machine. It works very well but because the harp is only 9 inches, you only get 5 inches of sewing space before you have to roll the quilt for the next section you intend to quilt. Hope this helps. I love my frame.

With my gran slam I received: the machine( of course) 5x7, hat, & sock hoops. 120 prewound bobbins, pretty large roll of stabilizer, 63 different colors of thread. Polystar thread is very good, don't buy cheap thread. You get a pair of scissors, a C D with about 15,000 different patterns. Everything that you need to start out with, but of course you will order a few other things once you get rolling with your projects. I love my machine, it is amazing to watch it work.

I love my hoops. I have Brother SE-400 because I'm a beginner and didn't want to pay much for a machine. After playing around with it I wanted a larger and smaller hoop than what came with my machine. On the box that the hoops came in, it states that it will fit the machine that you have. Happy embroidering!

I'm sorry but without the full ad I don't know what they're referring to. My guess would be circumference. You can make any sized loop by using the round part starting at the end working your way up the pliers which will make bigger loops. This tool makes the best loops of anything I've tried. I use it for loops for earrings.

I bought this hoop for my fiance and she loves it. However, I believe you could use a PVC pipe cutter to make it smaller but not by much. It is also a one time only thing and could never be undone. She kept hers at 40, but she now wants a 32 because man 40 inches is large.

Not for hand embroidery. Machine embroidery may be okay for small jobs, not enough thread for larger jobs.

I love the 505 spray because it does not gum up the sewing machine needle. Because the felt is such a porous surface you can use it but spray both the felt and the stabilizer ... let them sit for about 30 seconds and then press them together. Another option would be to get some of the stabilizer than has a tacky surface. The tacky surface stabilizer will allow you to reposition and or use a piece of felt or fabric that is smaller than your hoop but large enough for the design you wish to embroider (by machine).

I re-read my instructions as I was not aware that it would make any other size then med/small. When I googled it on line it states that the machine will only make the one size of cube. Sorry I could not help.

It depends on the which machine you have. The sewing area of the actual machine is the key. The large hoop does not increase the sewing space. It allows for you to move the hoop up and down without re-hooping the fabric. The other factor is whether or not your machine allows for re-sizing. For example I can resize designs 20% either way. Look in the embroidery section of your manual and see what the dimensions of your sewing space are. I know it's kind of confusing. I hope this helps. If not ask another question and I will try to help you.

Julie, do you know the ballpark cost of the PE-780D? I'm doing my research on embroidery machines before I make a decision. There's not too many distributors in my area so I wanted to make sure I get a good price.
