I do embroider through all three layers. Have done some full size quilts with this method. Open the hoop wide and in the beginning it takes some strength to push it in. I don't know your machine. but I need to use at least the 5x7 hoop to do this. Make sure there is no drag on your quilt. Keep the quilt puddled, so the machine can run freely.
