Very good ideas here and appreciate the knowledge & sharing....will have to try this.

Good for you. Always go with your Gut!

I use sticky stabilizer for small projects. Just put the stabilizer in the hoop, peel off the paper and stick your sash right onto the stabilizer. It's great stuff!

Thanks for the tip - I'm just getting into embroidery too and this post from you was very helpful.

Good for You!! You fugured it out! Purvissp-----------way to go woo hoo!!!

Thank you for the information..I am going to try this.

Yes - through the top, batting and backing. I think I got most of my designs from a digitizer that died a few years ago, and to my knowledge her site isn't up anymore. I have also got some from MyEmbroideries.com.
I love doing baby quilts this way. I wouldn't want to do anything too large though, but I have seen people that do.

I love to do it this way, and to me it is so easy. I put my quilt sandwich together, pin it to keep the layers together, and then I use my embroidery machine to quilt it. The last quilt I did this way I embroidered in the sashing of the quilt. It was made up of 8" blocks with sashing around all blocks. I marked my center in each sashing, and then inserted the bottom part of the hoop in my machine. I got my embroidery machine ready to embroider, and then lined up my center mark with the needle. Then I pushed the top hoop into the bottom hoop. I used an embroidery design that was single stitched hearts nesting. I embroidered the first sashing, removed the top part of the hoop and then moved the quilt to the next position to embroider, using the center mark I had made on the quilt.
After I had done the sashing I just stitched around the animals in all the quilt with the sewing machine. I will try to get close up pictures of the quilting/embroider. It is on display at the quilt shop where I work part time.
I love doing this. For me it is so much easier than trying to stipple or meander or whatever.

Can you elaborate just a little? I am very interested.

Also, I would think one might be able to do several small designs on a strip and then cut and use at corner stones? I have been toying with that idea but haven't tried yet.
