How do you incorporate machine embroidery into your quilting projects?
#1
Hi Everyone,
I now have a new to me embroidery machine, yay! Before having one, I never really paid too much attention to how us quilters are using embroidery designs in our quilts. Well now I can, so I was wondering if anyone here would like to share some of the things they do.
For instance, last month I found a new BOM that incorporates embroidery by stitching out words on block backgrounds around the center of the quilt. I was so enamored with the pattern, that I asked a local quilter and machine embroiderer what she would charge to stitch these words out for me. She ended up selling me my new machine! :shock: How's that for a reply/sales pitch? :lol:
In case anyone is interested in this six month BOM, you can find it here:

So, now I'm wanting to learn all I can about my new machine, but especially how I can use it in conjunction with my quilting. What kinds of patterns and/or projects would you suggest? I'm especially interested in small gifts that I can make for Christmas at this point.
Thanks so much,
Karla

Each square was done separately the backing is a little larger and if you to to bayside quilting you can find a tute on the fun and done I sandwiched it and quilted through all three layers front, batting, and backing It was polished cotton, It did turn out quite pretty for a first try.

you will have a lot of fun with your new machine, you can use it for the quilting part of a quilt by using redwork designs or they have quilting designs that are really pretty.
Which machine did you get?
Just take it slow there is a lot to learn about these machines..
Here is a quilt that I made using my Hus machine
