These quilt books come with a CD/DVD with designs. Install and enjoy.

The projects are simple and easy to do. Good way to see if you like quilting in the hoop. Hoop Sisters and Queen of Stitching are expensive. (worth it)
I just mentioned digitizing, since I see how the flip and fold works, I can do my own if I feel like it.

Try looking at the quilts by HOOP SISTERS...The battilizer is normally used with similar quilts - where the fabric is a solid color (much like a whole cloth quilt) and the actual "quilt" or the pretty stuff is the actual quilting, which is very dense, and is normally done on a block by block quilt as you go basis.........Hope this helps you some.................

Hoopsisters, Kenny's creations and a few more I would have to look up have great "in the hoop" quilts..I like Kenny's creations, they have some really pretty designs Storm at sea, pineapple etc...Eliminates a lot of rotary cutting not all but a lot...the battilizer is a Hoopsister's product, it is a batting and stabilizer combination..

Battilizer is a "Hoop Sisters" product. They use the battilizer instead of regular batting. It is quite stiff. I have completed two Hoop Sisters projects. In the first one I used the battilizer. I realized that it is not necessary to use it so in the second one I used 80/20 batting and it stitched up just fine and I actually preferred it as it wasn't so stiff.

for applique..just go on you tube and do a search for applique with machine embroidery...tons of tutorials on there..
Either method is not hard, I just think you're intimidated...so go for it! Especially if you're using sample blocks at first, you have nothing to lose!

you can do that sept97. That is what I do with all my designs, well mostly anyway. There are lots of in the hoop quilting designs out there, you can but them on a cd or order them off Embroidery Library. I have beautiful Quilt Block designs. Just look around you will find them, no stabilizer needed for me either.
