Do I quilt, then embroider, or embroider, then quilt around it?
I do embroidery work first 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?
I do all 3 layers and with no stabilizer when I am doing single pass design that I want seen on both sides. If you are doing a bunch of different applique designs on the blocks then I would do those as one layer with stabilizer but this way you will not see design on backside. Does this make sense?
If I embroider through all three layers, then do I hoop the best I can (without stabilizer of course)? Yep, no stabilizer needed, or at least I haven't used it when doing all 3 layers.
I hope this made some sense
Happy Stitching
