Thanks for asking this question! I have just learned alot by reading all the post! These "Cuties" sure know alot! Flowers to all! Hugs! Patsy
9888thank you so much, just home from the last biiiiggg fleamarket in Bonn, found 3 books on herbs and heard a new tune (to me) i had to search for - Maceo Parker - Children's World at YT - have to have that CD -
so many answers so much to do. will do a sample right after cute time later. Girls you ROCK !!!
20463you've got plenty of great answers however the only one I would add is be sure to use a walking foot if doing stitch in the ditch or when attaching the binding. I don't know what I'd do without mine. Also if you want to do a certain freehand design, just draw it with your air erase marker and stitch away, it'll go away by itself in a few hours.....

thank you yes i have one on my sewing machine but never used it do do the binding maybe i should to get even better results
17161This is a site for quilting
33350I included this site just because there is so many interesting things to watch
33350I hope this link works .
33350here is a how too for u to watch.
33350I would like to make a strong suggestion here. Get a scrap of fabric from your quilt and something similar to your backing and a bit of the batting you are going to use and make a mini quilt sandwich with your embroidery machine to test it to make sure that your machine is set up with balanced tension, etc. Then you can even stitch out the design you think you want to use, and see how it looks. I use embroidery on quilt blocks quite frequently and sometimes the results are a tad different than I expect. I hope this works for you!! Good luck getting your project done within your deadline!! :)
16260I was thinking of making something similar thanks for asking this question! A flower for you!
24276Thank you for asking this question, I have also been wanting to use my embroidery machine to quilt, not sure though if my frame will accommodate the thickness, unless I use very thin batting
16251I never quilted in my life but am interested in knowing how you do it! Thank you!
78092No stabilizer, but Ialtered the tension to balance the stitch as I used the same thread on top and bottom.
720You don't need any extra stabilizer. I have done a queen size quilt on my Ellageo-hooped 100 times. Used feather patterns from scissors and threads. Working on a wedding ring using patterns from emblibrary. done many baby quilts, free hand stippling. The machine is a great time saver over hand quilting.
32948I also have a Viking and the quilt hoop. I just hoop all of the layers and stitch out the design through all layers. I do not use any stablizer. Embroidery Lib. has some nice designs for doing just that. Many of them are only $1.00 each. I use the ones that look like RW designs. Some are single stitch and others are double stitch.
62459when you hand quilt the stitches go through all layers so when i machine quilt i do the same through all layers i do not use stablisers just stitch in the ditch and in the plain blocks of wherever i use a outline design to finish i off hope this helps...soozie

thank you soozie, i do the same with machine quilting, was courios on the details when working with the emb. machine.
25169For a simple quilt, I pin the quilt every 4 inches, then I stitch in the ditch along all seams with my regular sewing machine. As for all qults, finish with the binding.
6963Thank you for asking this question. I would love to try this. What type of batting do you use?

26714On my block quilts, I just layered the backing, batting, and the top. I used a hoop big enough to fit the block and just embroidered my design on the block. See if I can post a photo.

Such beautiful work! Are the designs visible on the underside and does one stitch the blocks together before or after the designs are completed?
17488I just hoop it - I have a quilt hoop by Husqvarna that has a bigger gap between the inner and outer ring. That works fine for me without any need for stabiliser.

That hoop is really great! I've use it many of times. I did a small quilt that was posted here a while back. It was hooped about 90 times. It takes longer to hoop than it does to stitch out.

I use this hoop, also. I just hoop my project-no stanbilizer, no topping. It will take more time hooping nut the results are nice. Like clawton said, be sure to look at Em library's quilting designs, they stitch out great. Good luck.
145190I have quilted a few with my embroidery machine designs. I just hooped the quilt "sandwich" (backing, batting and top) then stitched away. There was no need to add any extra stabilizer to the ones I did. I did not use a fluffy batting, mostly warm and natural. Hope this helps. Now that I have a APQS longarm I rarely take advantage of this technique, must remember to use the emb machine for this again!
