I love incorporating machine embroidery into my quilts. I am just finishing up a horse themed quilt. It has 17 embroidered horses on it. I did a unicorn quilt for my step daughter a few years back. I have the Singer Futura CE250 and used it for 3 years and recently bought the Futura Quartet because it has a bigger hoop, a 6 x 10. This machine is also set up nicely for quilting with a big wide bed. I have not quilted with it yet but it did come with a walking foot and everything I will need for quilting.
