embroidered quilts
I am making a quilt that will have applique and embroidery on it. I'm wondering if I should quilt the whole thing and then add the applique and embroidery. Or should I add it first and then quilt around it? I only have a straight stitch machine and will be hand embroidering. I just don't know if it will be okay for the stitches to show on the back. If I only embroidered to the batting then the quilt might not be held together enough. Please help if you have any suggestions, thanks
