Perhaps someone who does can answer you. The inside dimensions of the 11x13, 10x10 and 5.5x5.5 hoops are 11" x 13", 9 7/8" x 9 7/8" and 5.5" x 5.5", respectively. So the sewing area of these hoops are those dimensions less the minimum clearances you need on all four sides for the Amaya XT pressure foot and needles. The hoops do not obstruct the blade thread grabber.
