quilting on an embroidery machine
#11
Put a pin through the center of your quilt where you want the design to stitch out. Since your design is round, if you then push the pin through the center of the stabilizer, you can just stick the quilt down on the stabilizer. The x/y axis shouldn't matter.
Dawn's tutorial is great! However with the circle motif, you don't have to go through so many steps, IMHO.

Dawn,
I'm using sticky stabilizer on the bottom of the bottom hoop. I'm not using a top hoop because my quilt sandwich is too thick. I tried marking the back of a 4" block, but that is hidden when I try to put the hoop on. I have to line up the center and the top, bottom, and sides. So far, the best I can do is put the sticky stabilizer on the bottom hoop, put that in my machine, mark the center of my block, and using the plastic centering template, get the right placement in the hoop. Then I have my sewing machine do a "check" and I adjust the hoop placement as necessary. It's time consuming and not perfect. Maybe I'm not quite understanding your way.

Hi TCharlie
I've done that before, but this embroidery that I'm doing now is the actual quilting on the quilt. It's going through all 3 layers. I have a little feathered motif for each 4" block. There are 45 blocks on each quilted pillow sham. And of course two shams. I could be at this for a while!!!
