Yup every chance I can cause my fmq is pathetic lol! With that said since its basted etc I toss it on the hoop and clip it to the hoop. It's hard with large ones and the quilt must be supported or there's drag on the arm. Mostly it's quilting or rework designs. I will to regular embroider on a block prior to sandwich and then in that case it's hooped like normal. Also I don't care for the look of the tag so I embroider it on the back area again prior to sandwich. Hope this makes sense.
