That translates to 16.14" by 15.75", And is only available in a full sash frame. [/QB] ----- Hi FME540, I thought the 20.7 x 16.8 tubular sash frame is the largest available for the XT. Is it not a full sash frame?? In determining the maximum rectangle I could stitch in this frame, I digitized a rectangle and found out that the largest "rectangle" I could safely trace was a 14.5" x 14.5" "square". I know I can exceed a 14.5" width a very tiny bit as the hoop widens with the curvature as the pressure foot/needle meets the center of the long side (20.7" side) of the hoop. I can understand where you would get more sewing area if you are stitching the width of the shorter sides (16.8" sides) of my hoop. Hope you understand what I am saying. May I ask is the "full sash frame" you are referring to larger than the frame I am using? If so, where can I get one? I don't know what a tubular frame is as opposed to a flat frame. Can you please explain? If the full sash frame is the same frame I am using, how are you achieving a sewing area of 16.14" x 15.75". I'd be very, very interested as many of my designs are at least 15" at its widest width. Many thanks!
