Embroidery as quilting
I have read many times on here that several of you are using embroidery for your quilting. I want to try that, but figured I would start small first. I am making a purse/tote for myself. It will be two batiks with warm and natural batting. I will quilt it before I cut it out but want to add an embroidery design.
Do I quilt, then embroider, or embroider, then quilt around it?
Do I quilt just the one layer with stabilizer then quilt them together, or do I embroider through all three layers?
If I embroider through all three layers, then do I hoop the best I can (without stabilizer of course)?
