I did not sew the top of the quilt. It was already appliqued but in assembling the quilt with the double knit backing, i laid the layers on the floor. MaskingTaped the double knit backing to the floor, stretching it as best i could. then layered the batting and then the top. No machine work was every done so I don't know how it would be in a sewing machine...The squares were all hand sewn together as well as the appliques. The back of the quilt is not exactly smooth but it quilted better than I thought. I have pics showing it on the floor with all the pins in it before I basted the layers together. sending them along.
Some double knit gives so I don't know how it would be machine quilted. Need to try one square and see how it goes.
