From the book Crazy Quilting The Complete Guide, by J. Marsha Michler, it says the Antique way of crazy quilting means that the patches must be fastened in place by embroidery. It just doesn't say that the foundation fabric will be picked up when doing the embroidery, that is why I had a question. This book also gives 9 other ways of doing crazy quilting but I was intersted in the Antique way.
