I have seen many quilts that were quited with embroidery.

Do you do the embroidery before sandwiching it together or after?? If you do it after, do you hoop the whole thing??

You'd have to hoop the whole sandwich if you wanted the embroidery to be your "quilting". Just loosen the nut on your hoop almost all the way so you can get it in there. I does work nicely, I have the Janome 11000se just so I could stipple in the hoop and embroider instead of FMQ.

Great idea--I will give it a try!! Thanks!

I did....and still do! I love incorporating embroidery into my quilts and I find the embroidery holds the quilt together very well! This is a quilt that I embroidered designs into the borders!

Do you use any stabilizer or just hoop it and go for it?

The batting acts as the stabilizer. Just hoop and go.

Beautiful quilt. You have to keep practicing FMQ it takes awhile to get form down. Start with something smaller and work up.

I thought that you could just hoop the stabilizer and not the quilt, just position it..or spray with adhesive?

There are many ways to skin a cat. What I suggested, is what I do successfully.
