FMQ is what I use mine for because I can drop the feed dogs.

Beautiful quilt!!

Love your quilt. Thin sashing is soooo hard to keep straight.

my embroidery machine doesn't sew only embroidery.

Good job, CarolynMT - I like that. I haven't had the nerve yet to try it but that looks nice!

Ok, maybe I'm missing something but doesn't the back look different? Most embroidery I've seen the back looks very different from the front and it's not something I would want my quilt to look like. I want to get an embroidery machine and I'm confused about quilting with it. Maybe if someone showed a closeup of the back of their quilt I could understand it better.

Yes, I use my Brother Duetta 4500 to embroider quilt blocks a lot!

Oh CarolynMT that is gorgeous!!

I have done it a few times.

Embroidery-quilting class
 

If you look at Eileen Roche's embroidery/quilting class on Craftsy you can see how the quilt as you go looks. I do not like the way the back of the quilt looks and made lots of mistakes on this first try quilt. This quilting makes gorgeous feathers, but is too dense imho. I used cotton batting and quilt was too stiff to suit me.

I have a Bernina and have used it for embroidery quilting mainly on smaller projects. I embroider on my quilt sandwich (the top and the batting) and put the back on with free motion quilting.

I have a Baby Lock Ellegante that I have used for embroidering squares that I have incorporated into a quilt. I have not tried the designs for "quilting". I have a few, just haven't started the quilt to use them on. I think that the embroidered squares would not look right if done with the batting and backing. Loved my Ellegante so much, have gotten the Ellisimo for Christmas and am selling my Ellegante. If you haven't tried it, you really should, embroidery really adds to quilts.

I use my Janome to quilt. I especially love to make applique blocks with it. Here is one I'm working on for my 4 yr. old DGD who loves Little Ponies. [ATTACH=CONFIG]386084[/ATTACH]

I have never used my embroidery machine for quilting......I use my Elna...

I have done this. I really liked how it turned out. Lots of re-hooping, but I liked the results!

Love this quilt!!!

McBrow, you can do this. I have a Brother Innovis and have quilted with it. It is a long and tedious thing to do. If you compare it to Free motion or a long arm. Take your time.

Before you start a quilt think of a smaller project. Square table topper, pot holder. That way if you are not happy, the whole quilt is not trashed.

BTW, I have a new machine in my sewing room. Brother 1000e. I am excited about getting used to this machine and quilting a few things. It has a larger frame than my Innovis.
