My Diamond has an extra long needle bed for ease of quilting. I just roll it up and off I go. You don't need stabilizer if you have more than one layer of fabric. Use a quilting needle in your machine, and change it often. Enclosed are 2 pictures of table runners I did on the embroidery machine. The butterfly is stippled, and the other one has a flower design.
You said to use a quilting needle. Is that for embidery machine? I am not sure where to buy a quilting needle for an embroidery machine.
