it seems you are getting a lot of responses about embroidering using your machine, is that what you are thinking of doing?
I don't have that option, however, I've done hand embroidery on quilts.

In two ways, one way is to piece my block, sandwich it with batting and embroider through that. It worked great b/c it quilted that area and you can later quilt through the other areas however you want.

The other way is to put a stabilizer on the back and hand embroidery. Then I piece my block. I haven't actually finished this one yet so I don't know if it works better or not yet, or how much quilting I'll have to do in the area.

Below is a pic of a block I did the embroidery through the batting as an example of what I mean.

There are so many options out there on how to do things!
