Embroidery machine quilting
I have a Babylock Ellegante sewing/embroidery machine. I'm basically a piecer, not a quilter. The only quilting I've done is stitch in the ditch and only a little of that. I have several embroidery designs for my machine that are designed for quilting in the hoop. I have eight pieced blocks in blues, white, and pink. I'm thinking of alternating these blocks with 8 plain white blocks. Once the quilt top is sandwiched I thought I'd try quilting the plain white blocks in the hoop using thread colors that match the pieced blocks. The pieced blocks I'm thinking of SID, or maybe quilting in the hoop as well. Due to my lack of experience in quilting I'd like to hear from people who have done quilting using a sewing/embroidery machine design in the hoop. Were you happy with the results? Did you embroider the blocks edge to edge or center the design in the block? Any do's or don'ts? I would love to see pictures of quilts quilted in this way. Thanks.
