4. Multi-Hoop Capability

SINGER Futura XL-550 has two hoop choices, 10” x 6″ and 4” x 4″. You can choose each of them according to your requirements. If you’re going to embroider or sewing on a large fabric, you can choose 10” x 6″ hoop size. However, if you want to decorate or sew on minor fabrics, I recommend you to select that smaller hoop size as it can make your works look more exquisite.

Unlike other combo machines, XL-550 has an extra-large sewing space. So although it is an all-in-one machine, it performs excellently in the sewing area. The arm length to the right of the needle is 210 mm, giving more space for users to sewing large projects like quilts.
