When using your embroidery machine for quilting don't go through the extra finger or loop on your bobbin - that makes your bobbin thread tighter - you want it more for sewing. Also you will want to change the tension - I check what the tension is for regular sewing, then when my embroidery unit is ready to stitch I change the tension to match the sewing tension. This keeps the thread from drawing to the back. Don't know if this makes sense but it makes a world of difference on my Bernina.

I have a Viking Topaz and have used the quilt designs from emblibrary.com a couple of times. I think the designs come out nice. The only problem I had was with the tension on the back. After doing my first block and thinking the front came out wonderful I looked at the back and the stiches were loose , so after a couple of tries I realized I just needed to max out the tension and then I was good to go.
