Sure you can embroidery the block. and then set it together with sashing. But a thing that I do is I cut the block bigger do the embroidery design , with my embrodiery machine, then press it and trim to correct size. Sometimes your design can change the block size, I do this also when I do Redwork on embroidery machine. It is alway better to cut bigger and then trim to correc t size. I made a christmas quilt in a Village redwork on tone on tone white and put christmas sashing between and then stiched about 1/4" from the seam on the inside of blocks It turned out great Have fun

Yes you need to stablize it. One way that I have done it is get some Wash Away, Like Valine, deslove it in water and it makes a thick type of starch. put you blocks in it. let them dry, press and then do the embroidery. press again and set together. I have also used tear away. Some of it is not real expensive.

I have done this many times. I don't use stabilizer when I stitch through all 3 layers. You can use any red work design as a quilting design. make sure you use the same thread on the top and the bottom. I pin baste my quilt and remove the pins as I re hoop.

I completed a charity quilt top that was baseball themed and to quilt i pin basted then stitched in the ditch. Found a baseball embroidery pattern that i liked then modified it so that it did not complete the fill and only used one color of thread. Walla! Perfect baseballs in the blocks. Sooooo easy.

Would this work? I know technically it would, but do people actually use embroidery as the quilting?

I pick simple designs more like outlines. My Babylock Esante has specific quilting designs too. Hope that helps
