If you have any businesses in your area that do embroidery work on shirts, hats, etc. they probably have a machine that will do embroidery through thicker material, meaning a sandwiched quilt if you're thinking about going through all the layers. A home machine could do it but it would be a strain because they're not made for that kind of workout. I would take the quilt to them and see what they suggest after you tell them what you're wanting.
