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

i have done quilting in the hoop and other things with the book and cd from nancys notions its fast and easy. you hoop your stabilizer first and then use the tape that washes out to hold your faric its easy, also you can use the steam a seam 11 to do the same thing i have one of them little clover hand wond irons. i do use the glue sticks al lot too to hold things in the hooped stabilizers that wash out. weze

all so you can do free hand quilting but start small like a pot holder or hot pad to get thre feel of the quilting area you want to sew, i just bought the hoops the hold the top fabric so i can do free hand and do my own designs, weze

Yes, you can embroider all three layers without any problem....however...... keep in mind that you may have some shifting of the layers because of all of the re-hooping AND your bobbin stitches will show on the back of the quilt. While that may be OK with redwork type designs, it won't look good if you use some of the designs that are a bit more complex.
My method is to embroider the blocks, then piece the quilt, then quilt as usual. Even if you just stitch in the stitch between your blocks to hold all of your layers together, you will have a prettier finished quilt.
Here's a link to an embroidered quilt on my site: http://www.candyapplequilts.com/embr...-beauty-quilt/
This was embroidered first, then assembled, and then quilted. You can always do all of the basic quilting to stabilize your layers, and then keep adding to it (such as more stippling, etc.) as the spirit moves you.

I have done a quilt on the embroidery machine with over 200 hoopings. I did hoop the three layers each time and it was very difficult at first. After a while though you get better at it. I puddled and lifted the quilt at times, so it would not drag, especially in the middle section. I used the design that Candace showed and another one and alternated in each block. I also did the sashings. Lots of work, but it came out beautiful. Have no pictures, but now I am making one for my other granddaughter. I will do this one on the embroidery machine too. You don't need stabilizer when you put all three layers in the hoop. Strong hands are a must. I used 5x7 hoop, top and bottom layer cotton and warm and natural batting.

Embroideredquilts are about the only type of quilt I make. I am slowly figuring out how to put them together withou at least some kind of embroidery. I will even get on my laptop and post some pics if any one would like to see them........
