I did this on a Downy quilt once. It turned out great (at least I thought so). It is hard to hoop, however. I ended up using masking tape to tape the bottom hoop to the table while I got the block situated the way I wanted it. I used a template that came with the hoop to center it, then put the top hoop on, then untaped it. (You can only put the tape on the outside edges of the hoop and you have to open it as much as possible.)
There's a new magnetic hoop out now for my machine, and I think that might make the job less cumbersome. It's expensive though. I might ask for it for Christmas. Haven't made up my mind.
