Thread: Do any of you quilters also machine embroider?

I do both. I embroidery designs and put them in my quilts. Especially baby quilts. I use cotton embroidery thread for that. I have a Jamone 11000Se and MB4. Love them both.

I have a Brother PC8500 and ULTRA 2001 and a Babylock PRO9 (6 needle)
I actually was doing Emb before quilting....One day I needed a baby gift for a shower and didn't want to go shopping so I made an EM quilt on jersey fabric.....Thus starting my quilting journey....I never shop anymore except at LQS or fabric supply stores...some of the babies I made them for are now 10 yrs old and moms have paid me to make twin size one with this fabric...it washes beautiful and is sew cozy...i use it on the front and on the back....I now try all kinds of quilting and emb....seperate or together....I'm hooked.......BTW can someone direct me to the emb quilt that was posted on the picture forum in Dec. I think...It was a beautiful emb flower baskets/flowers quilt....i have looked and looked and can t find it...It was the more beautiful quilt I have ever seen....Thk you ...

I have 2 emb machines and use them almost daily! I emb quilt labels, pillowcases, quilts...you name it! And yes, even on toilet paper!

I just got the Viking Ruby and I love it. For Christmas I did free standing lace ornaments and a stained glass nativity scene and I just downloaded a bunch more designs for Valentines Day and Easter and my GD 1st Bday. I have some ideas in the works also to make the kids an alphabet quilt along with some other things. I move my machine to the dinning room when I do this since there is a lot of stop n go with changing thread color. I'm very new and still learning. This Mon we are learning to make a zippered coin purse at our monthly embroidery club that I got free when I got my machine. I'm also taking my stuff in so that she can teach me to do the cutwork on the embroidery machine; it's alot more difficult on a regular machine. Which is a block on another quilt that I've done.

I add machine embroidery to most of my quilted wallhangings and table toppers. I love machine embroidery and love adding it to my quilting projects.
My machines are in my signature line. I don't know what I would do without either one of them, and yes I do use both of them to embroider, many times at the same time!! I am having too much fun!! giggle giggle

You can add me to the list of those embroidering on toilet paper! giggle Also add embroidery to candles!!

If someone could please post the email addy of Konstin so we can contact them in regards to possibly adding a machine embroidery category that would be quite helpful. Thank you.

I made my daughter a quilt with embroidered blocks when she was pregnant with my granddaughter. If I can find the pic I'll post it. I don't do it often. I still am not too motivated, but trying to get there.

Do any of you have the Brother innovis 2800D machine? What do you like and dislike about it?
