I've read & seen embroidery done on quilts. They did NOT thread the machine for embroidery. Instead it was threaded for sewing. This way the thread does not pull to the back, but looks like regular sewing. You use the same thread in the bobbin as you do the top. Hoop all 3 layers & do not use stabilizer, as the quilt fabric/batting/backing is enough.
I recently tested this on my Bernina 830LE, using quilting designs from Diane Gaudynski/OESD. Came out great.
