Quilt over embroidery
HI
I have made several french braid quilt table runners, with the middle block being an embroidered block. My question is when I put the on the frame to get quilted, can I quilt over the embroidery or will it look funny?
Thanks

I have had a redwork quilted right over the design and it looked fine. I used thread to match the backing and it almost disappeared. The embroidery still stood out. Did Alex Anderson's Hearts and used an allover pattern. So it all depends on whether you are doing the work or can spend the time or the money for more complex work. Either can be just fine.
