I've only done one that was pieced, and as others have mentioned, my machine was not happy going over multiple seams on both sides. That one I fmq'd on my dm, might be easier if it is long armed. Sure comes ou pretty, though.
This is how I centered the back and front, but be careful! I put regular thumb tacks through a couple of places on the back where I wanted to make sure it matched. The tacks go from the right side of the fabric to the back. Place the back on a flat surface and CAREFULLY smooth the batting over the backing, pushing the points of the tacks thru. Then add the top, using the tacks to align the top. Pin the sandwich then remove tha tacks!
