I machine embroider one quilt. It was a full sized quilt and I put a leaf/acorn design in the large blocks. I found that because it was so bulky the design got out of the lines in most blocks.....but not in the same place. I'm sure it was because of the hooping. If anyone besides a person who does machine embroidery looked at the quilt they may not notice unless they really studied it but it was stressful for me and I wouldn't attempt it again. Good luck if you try it. If I were to try it again I would use several layers of the stiffy tear away stabilizer underneath each block. Hope this helps.
