I quilted this on my Innovis. It was my first try at quilting using the embroidery setup. There are a lot of single stitch patterns available. Not so many for little boy quilts, but a lot of feathers, flowers, etc.

I am new to the embridery machines but love some of the quilt blocks a person can embroidery. What I have been wondering is: does a person emb. the blocks and then put it all tgether or does a person put the pieces all together and then embroidery as part of the quilting process? I am not crazy about the" quilt as you go" method so want another way. Love to hear what all you have to say. Mary M

I have embroidered the designs on blocks and then used some of my built in embroidery stitches to quilt the layers together. My quilt is call "Crazy About Iris" and was accepted and shown in the AQS show in Des Moines last October. If you quilt using an embroidery stitch, chose a more open stitch that does not have a lot of back and forth motion. All three layers can shift. I practiced on scraps with batting in between.

I have an Elna 8200 and have quilted 4 fixin to be 5 with my embroidery machine, I use the single pass designs. Re-hooping can be difficult--centering is not always good. Good Luck and can't wait to see your practice :-)

What gorgeous quilts! I have a Brother PE-770 and used that several times for quilting. I've also done denser designs as central features in blocks. There are so many different types of designs out there. Just look around!

I have a BabyLock Elegante and it works beautifully embroidering on a quilt. It is also my 'standard' machine to piece and do free motion!!

Yes, I quilted a design in the open spaces of a triple Irish chain quilt for my niece's wedding. It turned out very nicely. Don't hoop the quilt, just the stabilizer, pin it well and do a basting, or fix ( or whatever your machine calls it) stitch to anchor the quilt before you start. Be sure you have the fabric well supported, so the weight of the quilt does not affect the way the embroidery unit is working.

This is on my to do list for 2013! Thanks for the inspiration.
