OMG! This thing is a Monster!

I finally made my final payment on my Hoop-it-All combo kit.  As you can see in the photos, it takes up quite a bit of space.

I got the Quilter’s Square Double-Wide hoop (16×16″) as well as the Super Giant Double-Wide (16×28″).   It came with a base to set the machine onto, a front and rear extension table, and another piece that fills in a gap on the surface.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get the points of the hearts to line up perfectly.  I did print out a template from Embird with just one heart just to become familiar with design placement and alignment.

The template is 16" square.

 Next I will need to try something a bit more challenging, but the bigger challange is having the time to play with all of my toys.
