Ok, my manual states the sizing of the largest hoop is 10 1/4 X 6 1/4 but when I measure the inside dimensions it comes out as 12 1/8 X 7 1/2. Is this because they are listing the size as the useable sewing area?

Yes, the hoop is larger than the sewable area so just measuring the size of your hoop doesn't give you the actual sewing area. If you don't know, or can't find the size of your hoops, an easy way to figure it out, if you machine has the capability to add a basting stitch, sew it out, and measure that. The basting stitch will usually go around the outermost area of the hoop.

sanann OFFLINE Posts: 398	The largest hoop I have will do a 5x7 project with my Singer Futura. I guess I will really have to decide about getting the embroidery unit on the Bernina if I want to do bigger projects. I sure hope my son gets his talent grant this year!!

whitewitchcrafts OFFLINE Posts: 121	Ramblings? I have not heard any ramblings yet. All I have read is great information that is actually making sense and explains many things. So JoJo, never stop, ever, never!

Mailmanldy OFFLINE Posts: 236 Thank you received: 70	JoJo, Keep talking and rambling all you want... it's very informative and something that I think most of us who do machine embroidery want and need to know. Diane in Colorado Springs

suehenyon OFFLINE Posts: 1796 Thank you received: 51	Jojo, please just keep talking! Your perspective is appreciated. I'm curious about your favorite needles and stablizers for different fabrics, but do we need a new forum thread? To follow up on a previous question, which I had to clarify when I got home & tried something that wouldn't work, I save in .art50, but have to write to the machine (Bernina 730) in .art which is v4.
