You don't need stabilizer when you put all three layers in the hoop. Strong hands are a must. I used 5x7 hoop, top and bottom layer cotton and warm and natural batting.

what embroidery machine do you use?

Very nice.

but what was being asked was about doing the quilting of the background with line type embroidery designs

That's what the whole cloth, white on white quilt is about. The designs are embroidered on and makes the quilt. It is a tradition where a young woman soon to marry had to make one for her wedding night. Go for it!

I am going to use my embroidery machine to quilt the next quilt I am working on as a guide to see if it will work and look good. I have the Brother 1500D.

Where did you get your stippling embroidery design? and how did you embroider the stippling and not have it stitch through the filled embroidery designs?

BTW very nice quilts.

I have a Brother PE770, embroidery only. My largest field is 5x7 hoop, but I do have a 5x12. Have to reposition the hoop, but saves me from rehooping the material, if I want to do more than one design.
