Thanks for thinking of me Ed. I actually have that hoop and although it does come in handy many times, the width is sometimes too wide. Great for flats or pre-assembled items I do. Flat Frames will make a custome frame for not much more $$ than a regular one so I may opt for that if I really get stuck. Thanks again.

It's also known as the 36 X 30 cm hoop. What's great about this hoop is this is the largest hoop that you can sew in without having to move your hoop arms to the "outer" position. You should be able to sew an 11 inch square in this hoop or at least something real close.
