Pattern is self-drafted. I definitely want to rework the pattern -- maybe in a while I can come back with a side-by-side of this first attempt versus a second improved one!

My main question is this: between drafting the pattern and stitching it, I forgot I'd actually drafted it for a tight fit in a 5-inch hoop. That's a weird hoop size, so I mis-remembered it as needing a 6-inch hoop. Should I order a 5-inch hoop and redo the framing so it fits correctly? Or is it fine as-is and I've just been staring at it for too long?
