I started with a 4″x4″ hoop embroidery machine and upgraded to a 5″x7″ machine soon after. A few years later, I finally bought a much larger hoop embroidery machine because I desperately wanted to embroider bigger projects.

Are you also looking for a machine with a big hoop? Check out this list of the largest hoop embroidery machines available for home use!(And learn which one I decided to invest in!)

Above is my (desperately-needing-a-wash) SUV that barely fit my new embroidery machine to bring it home! (I embarrassingly had to verify the box measurements to ensure it would fit before purchasing.)

I also had to bring along my strapping husband for the purchase because not only was this machine too bulky to fit through our garage door that has a steep corner into our laundry room, it weighed almost 90 lbs, according to the sewing shop.

While my machine fits on my 23″ depth table with no issues, when I attach the largest hoop, the space needed behind and in front of the machine is much more to allow the machine to embroider the very bottom and very top of that hoop.

Now that I’ve gotten those remarks out of the way, this list includes the single needle embroidery machines with the largest hoops based on total area.I haven’t listed any large hoop multi-needle embroidery machines, as these are not as common for home use and embroidery hobbyists.

You will likely have to visit your local sewing retailer to purchase these machines. However, knowing which brands offer large embroidery fields will give an idea of which authorized retailers you need to frequent first.

Furthermore, many discontinued machines have large hoop sizes as well.Below are the currently produced models as of writing, though, and my list keeps getting longer because new machines are being released frequently!

Released fresh in April 2022, the Janome M17 Professional Next Generation Combo machine takes the current prize for the largest embroidery area. If this machine were on the market when I purchased my Luminaire XP2, I may have purchased it instead of my current embroidery machine.

Why? It has the highest max embroidery speed, the biggest embroidery hoop, and the largest workspace at 13.5.”(I do think Brother machines are still the easiest to use, which is my very biased opinion, of course.)

And, for quilters, this machine combines many of the well-loved features of the Janome Continental sewing and quilting machine and adds the embroidery component. If you love quilting, check out these features:

Based on total hoop area, the Husqvarna Designer Epic 2 is the home embroidery machine with the largest hoop size of 13 3/4″ x 14 1/4.” (The slightly less featured Husqvarna Ruby 90 and Sapphire 85 machines also have this same embroidery area potential.)

These three machines are all sewing and embroidery combination machines that are filled with deluxe features. The Epic 2 has the most stitches, designs, and features and is the snazziest of the three.

You also get access to their exclusive JoyOS ADVISOR system, which includes helpful sewing and embroidery tutorials to get you started using your machine successfully.

My favorite thing that sets them apart from other brands is the ribbon embroidery attachment, which helps you machine embroider with ribbon. (With my machine, I can only do bobbin work with a thin ribbon rather than using it as my top “thread.”) So cool!

Another awesome high-end embroidery machine, the Pfaff Creative Icon 2 (and the original Creative Icon, for that matter) has a maximum embroidery area that’s the same as the Husqvarna top-of-the-line embroidery machines.

Now, the largest hoop included with the Creative Icon machine is only a 360mm x 260mm (~10″x14″ hoop), but you can purchase the Grand Dream Hoop, which allows you to use that entire embroidery area of 14.11″ x 13.78.”

While the Husqvarna Designer is technically the embroidery machine with the largest hoop based on area, the Brother XP2 offers a rectangular hoop with a 16″ side, almost 2″ larger than the largest side on the Designer machine hoops. This means embroidering longer, skinnier designs is possible with the XP2.

For instance, my Anita Goodesign Doll House Quilt? I used my 10 5/8″ x16″ hoop to embroider the largest block size. This wouldn’t have been possible with two of the large hoop embroidery machines listed earlier due to their big hoop dimensions.

Now, as a combination machine with one of the largest embroidery fields and the most extensive workspace area (13.1″), the Luminaire XP2 also has a large color LCD touch screen that even embroiderers with poor near vision should be able to read.

Brother also includes all their latest technology in this top-of-the-line machine. My favorite feature is ‘Quiltbroidery,’ which makes continuous quilting effortless.

Other fun things include mobile monitoring, auto-digitizing with My Design Snap (so-so results compared to manual digitizing with software, of course), and all sorts of laser, camera, and light help features. These help line up designs and blanks for the best, professional results.

Also, as someone who used to spend more time than I’d like to admit tediously unscrewing the needle plate on my machine to clean or remove thread nests, I can’t even express how much time I have saved having a needle plate that is removed at the touch of a button.

Baby Lock and Brother machines are often made at the same factories but with different standards. Thus, these two machines have very similar features.

I really love how the built-in projector displays embroidery designs on the hooped fabric for preview for both of these machines. Then, you can edit the location and other design properties to achieve “Precise Embroidery Placement.”

Baby Lock’s trademarked technologies on the Solaris are IQ Intuition Monitoring, where you can keep track of stitching progress with your phone, and IQ Designer and IQ Intuition Positioning, which help with auto-digitizing photos or artwork and positioning.

Unless you plan to create intricate embroidery designs, you can get away without embroidery software on your computer in many cases, thanks to onscreen editing and customization technology.

The Bernina 8 Series includes the Bernina 880 Plus and Bernina 880 Plus Crystal Edition, among others. There are slight differences between these machines, but the specifications above are specifically for the 880 Plus.

The largest hoop size included with the Bernina 880 is the 145x255mm hoop.But, you can purchase an extra-large embroidery hoop (the Jumbo Hoop) to take advantage of the 15.7″x10.2″ maximum embroidery area.

To accommodate such a large hoop, these machines have an ample 12″ work area or throat space, meaning they’re perfect if you’re an avid quilter also. (Rolling a large quilt for free-motion stitching is very difficult on standard home sewing machines.)

Fun perks of this machine include the Bernina dual feed and stitch regulator and a jumbo bobbin so you can stitch humongous embroidery designs without having to reload.

These machines feature many of the same technologies as the Luminaire, but just “less” of most things. There are slightly fewer built-in designs, fewer stitch options, and fewer super-special perks like Quiltbroidery.

However, these machines still feature the My Design Snap mobile app and My Design Center, which provide perfect design placement and create embroidery designs from images.

This machine is excellent for starting an embroidery business where perfection is essential for happy customers! It’s much less expensive than the Luminaire (about 2/3 of the price when I purchased) but still has many time-saving features like the LED pointer on the embroidery foot.

These machines both have the same 11 1/4″ workspaces and 9.5″x14″ embroidery fields as the Brother counterparts as well as many other similar functions.

Compared to the Brother machines, though, there are fewer built-in embroidery designs (this not a Disney embroidery machine) included and a few other minor differences.

The largest hoop included with the Bernina 7 Series machines is the 5.8″x10.2″ hoop. However, the largest embroidery area is 15.7″x8.3.” Thus, if you purchase their Maxi Hoop, this machine will stitch larger designs.

The 7 Series models differ in features such as the number of stitches and built-in embroidery designs and the inclusion of the dual feed or stitch regulator.

While the Janome Memory Craft 14000 has a 9.1″x11.8″ hoop, the Memory Craft 550E’s hoop has slightly more area to it, which is why I’ve listed it here even though it’s not Janome’s “top-of-the-line” embroidery machine.

Using magnetic clips, this large hoop Janome machine can expand its 7.9″x7.9″ embroidery area to the much larger maximum embroidery field of 7.9″x14.2.”

The MC 550E embroidery-only machine is especially great if your budget doesn’t include a high-end Brother or Baby Lock machine but you still want to embroider large designs.

This machine is significantly less expensive because it doesn’t include flashy features like onscreen digitizing, WiFi design transfer, LED positioning, or even a super high embroidery speed.

If the big hoop sizes listed above are larger than what you’re interested in, here is a selection of other popular Brother and Baby Lock embroidery machines and their hoop sizes.

Also, check out how embroidery hoop sizes relate to the maximum embroidery area, as embroidery field and denoted “hoop size” are not exactly the same sizes in some cases.

I hope this has been helpful in your search for your next embroidery machine! Feel free to also check out my list of large throat sewing machines for quilting, which includes many of the machines on this list, for more details.
