I use my Brother Duetta to make quilt blocks, mostly for baby quilts. I believe Brother is the only sewing/emb machine that can embroider Disney designs - which is one of the reasons I went w/Brother. Love the machine.
When you make quilt blocks, a square is stitched around each finished block. I trim 1/2 inch from the square/lines, match them up and sew them together using the lines (hope that makes sense). Also, when you are embroidering the designs, you can lay a piece of batting down so it stitches the design right into your quilt sandwich (top fabric, batting, stabilizer & backing fabric). Very important to go to lots of classes which they should offer free when you buy any machine. My sewing machine shop has a monthly embroidery class that I always try to go to, and I'm still learning new things after 2 years, and I've accumulated 200 or so design collections (40 of them are for quilting). You can see them at
www.anitagoodesignonline.com, and I think they are compatible with almost any sewing/embroidery machine. You just have to get the correct format for your machine. Good luck!!
