There are two kinds of designs for the embroidery machines. The designs that are more like traditional embroidery and the "single line" designs that look more like the quilting design. There are many disks of these designs. I have used these for a more traditional look for machine quilting. About 10 years ago I did such designs that were built into one of the machine brands. I don't know how long they stayed in their later models. One company refers to these as Dgitized Designs for the Home Sewing Machines and are on CDs these would work well with quilt as you go quilts. I have used them on crib quilts as the quilt must be hooped and might be difficult to hoop a large quilt although I have not tried. It has been my opinion that when the word embroidery is used we naturally think of more traditional embroidery and overlook the single line design option.
