Embroider first or Quilt first
 
I am going to be hand embroidering antennae with floss. Should I do that before quilting or after quilting?

I would do it before quilting, unless you want it to go thru all the layers.

I would do it before.

Oh my gosh. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees! :)

Embroider first or you will have no place for the knots to be hidden.

The only reason I can think of to quilt first would be that the embroidery thread would then be on top of the quilting thread, if you're planning for them to overlap at all.
