how the embroidery looks on the back depends on the embroidery.
single-run quilting motifs look just fine.
double-run quilting motifs can look a bit "iffy", depending on the color used.
regular embroidery (like multi-color satin stitch flowers, for example) would make the quilt look pretty awful on back.
