Linda,
I have done some quilting using my embroidery machines and taught some classes at the LQS. I use a magnetic hoop as it would be difficult to hoop a quilt sandwich. You will want to use the largest hoop possible to allow for the most embroidery field. Quilts will take multiple hoopings.
You can use E2E designs or some machines have stippling features built in.There are tips on lining up the blocks after the first hooping. You also want to keep the field of embroidery quilting running in a straight pattern along the quilt block.
What machine do you have for embroidery? Are you familiar with aligning designs in the hoop?
