    Yes I sandwiched the quilt first then decided to quilt on the embroidery machine.
    I used the safety pins method. Removed pins after I hooped.

    This link offers great tips

    You did not cheat. Rather you made a wise decision to use the tools you had at hand. I think the quilting is gorgeous. Please realize that this is no different than any longarmer who uses a computer-controlled design does. Would you think of FMQ done with a stitch regulator as "cheating"? IMHO it boils down to the same thing as construction done with "hand tools vs power tools" (time, accuracy, and efficiency).

    Beautiful job! Enjoy your quilting time as your "time out" from life & all it involves! Even just a few minutes a day, will refresh your soul!

    I didn't know you could do this with an embroidery machine either. Great job.
