I am a long time lurker and I do learn a lot from all of the posts here. I have many, many quilt tops completed that just need quilting. I love to use my embroidery machine to create blocks and also like to do machine applique and several of my quilt tops are Lunch Box Quilts. I also own a Baby Lock Crown Jewel quilting setup which I fear intensely. I have completed some table runners and fabrics for bags without incident but just fear a quilt top. The Crown Jewel is with the Quilters Creative Touch so stitching is easy. or should be but my fear of messing up gets in the way. My issue is that I just can't figure out how to quilt these tops with all the applique and embroidery. I don't want to quilt over the appliques and the embroideries. My friend has a Pro-stitcher and can crop out all of those things but it is so much effort. Is it okay to just do an edge to edge panto over everything? Would that look terrible? How do others quilt this type of quilt? Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions/encouragement or help
