DESIGN SIZE GUIDE
This page is a guide that can be used with any of our quilting collections. It will provide you with the appropriate hoop size
to use for each block. Be mindful of the block shape that your quilting collection contains. Some of our quilting collections
will have square blocks only, while others will have square and rectangular blocks. Either way, all of the information on both
shapes can be found on this page. As always, it is best practice to use the smallest size hoop your block will fit in. Therefore,
you wouldn’t want to stitch a 5” quilt block in a 91⁄2” x 14” embroidery hoop. Using too large of a hoop could compromise the
quality of your design.

PLEASE NOTE:
Most of our quilting collections will have 6 different sizes of quilt blocks: AAA, AA, A, B, C and D, with AAA
being the largest. Be sure to load the coordinating sizes for all the blocks when creating your quilt to ensure
everything lines up correctly. Also, it is important to be aware that some quilting collections may not include
all 6 sizes. This is to keep the integrity of the design which the smaller sizes may not support.
