redwork like designs without jumps

I recently purchased a quilt embroidery CD with lots of embroidery designs specifically used for quilting. It also includes several sizes for the different sized blocks.

Sure you can embroidery the block. and then set it together with sashing. But a thing that I do is I cut the block bigger do the embroidery design , with my embrodiery machine, then press it and trim to correct size. Sometimes your design can change the block size, I do this also when I do Redwork on embroidery machine. It is alway better to cut bigger and then trim to correc t size. I made a christmas quilt in a Village redwork on tone on tone white and put christmas sashing between and then stiched about 1/4" from the seam on the inside of blocks It turned out great Have fun

Yes you need to stablize it. One way that I have done it is get some Wash Away, Like Valine, deslove it in water and it makes a thick type of starch. put you blocks in it. let them dry, press and then do the embroidery. press again and set together. I have also used tear away. Some of it is not real expensive.

I have done this many times. I don't use stabilizer when I stitch through all 3 layers. You can use any red work design as a quilting design. make sure you use the same thread on the top and the bottom. I pin baste my quilt and remove the pins as I re hoop.

yes, you can, and the block will really stand out.. i have seen them done with flowers, sunbonnet sue, birds, even frogs, and dinosurs. I am working on one that has the state flowers and birds ...

yes 3 layers , and you can even do some of the traditional blocks like card tricks, rail fence, log cabin and when the block are put together you have a near perfect quilt...yea

I do all the time.

I completed a charity quilt top that was baseball themed and to quilt i pin basted then stitched in the ditch. Found a baseball embroidery pattern that i liked then modified it so that it did not complete the fill and only used one color of thread. Walla! Perfect baseballs in the blocks. Sooooo easy.

Guess I should have mentioned that the quilt won't fit in the hoop. I put my stabilizer in the hoop, position the quilt sandwich over that after spraying the stabilizer with 505 spray & fix or something similar. Then I use pins near the hoop but out of the way to fasten the layers together more.
I pick simple designs more like outlines. My Babylock Esante has specific quilting designs too. Hope that helps
