I recently finished a Christmas quilt and was quite pleased with how it turned out. 1. Make a good sized quilt sandwich: top, batting, backing (no stabilizer) for checking threads-top and bottom if using two different types or colors or invisible, tension, your design, etc. as you should use the same weight thread in the bobbin for the backside of the quilt. You really want to test that tension. 2. Have your machine on a large table to hold the whole weight of your quilt. 3. Open your hoop as far as possible, hoop, choose the design you tested and embroider.
