I saw some on line, and at my All Brands sew & Vac. I was interested in the free motion quilt patterns.
You make your quilt block and then the free motion is done by your sewing machine embroidery.

Looks nice just wonder if it works like well.

I have done several Anita Goodesign in the hoop quilt designs and really like them. Depending upon the if/what you use for interfacing on the fabric, type of batting, and the density of the design the blocks can be a bit stiff so I tend to use them for wall hangings, table runners, valances, or even bed runners. Overall they are fun to do and turn out great!

I think you mean the embroidery designs that do the final quilting not the quilt block embroidery quilt designs. I have not tried any on an actual quilt but have seen quilts that they were used on and they worked out very well. I think the biggest issue is hooping the quilt. I have done embroidery on quilted placemats and they were tough to hoop.

I quilt my quilts with my embroidery machine all the time.

I do rag quilts that way. I have quite a few quilting patterns that came on software, and I have Quiltworks, which will do anything I can draw. Sashiko patterns also work. Holds top, flannel and backing together nicely.

I can only do 5X5 comfortably on machine (It will do 12x12 but you need to reverse hoop) so I wind up using 8" blocks. I learned to do some FMQ for a raggy with special fabric. The fabric was the star of the quilt and not the quilting. Made stencils of what I had on the computer and put designs on gold paper.

I just finished one:

Here are some pics my son took. The embroidery pattern is from emblibrary.com

This is done on a Janome 12000. Worked great.

Here's a raggy with the same idea. 8X8 blocks - 5x5 design[ATTACH=CONFIG]515893[/ATTACH]

If you are making blocks with designs that are mainly running stitch, and using wadding and backing in a 'sandwich', you do not need any interfacing or stabilizers to back your embroidery. I have done dense embroidery- minus the backing - and the wadding is a stabilizer. You can also hoop just the backing, and place the wadding and main fabric on top. You can use a little spray adhesive to hold them in place, or a couple of pins if you don't put them in the way of the needle, or sew a 'frame' around the edge, to stop movement.
