I do a lot of my intricate quilting on my CV. People think I am a great quilter (not!) Anyway one of the problems you will have is the quilt, batting and back are a little hard to hoop beause of the thickness. They have hoops that are called heavy (It also comes with a light hoop)but I still have a little trouble hooping it. The other point is these heavy material hoops can only do about a 6-7 inch square but that is pretty much a standard size square. I have tried it on other hoops but you have the possibility of popping out during the embroidery. I would aslo suggest you go slow. This is not a race and the faster you go the more of a chance of either breaking the thread or the quilt popping out of the hoop. Hope this helps.
