Hi Ellie, am I correct in feeling youre not sure where to start? You might like to check out jennyhaskins .com. She sells books on quilt projects using machine embroidery, and includes a cd with designs and full instructions. Just be sure the designs cater for your size hoop. Everything is explained about what products to use and how to position designs on the block. If you're in USA, I believe RNK [Distributers or Publishing] sells her products. There were also downloadable videos - free - if still available, grab them. This is a whole new world of sewing to explore. Enjoy
