I've used mine for table toppers but not tried anything larger. Putting the machine on the floor sounds like a great idea. I do love emblibrary.com designs. I use them a lot and they always come out beautifully.

I done 15 lap quilts for Christmas on my Pfaff 5770 and Babylock Ellegante, Support is a big factor and centering each block as you hoop it. They turned out very well, but it does take a lot of time. You must be sure the batting is not too thick or the hoops will pop off in the middle of the pattern and then you have to pick it out and start over as it is very difficult to match it up again.

No stabilizer is necessary. Just hoop and sew!

I have embroidered large motifs in large blank areas such as centers in Irish Chain. Works great, don't use really thick batting, no stabilizer required.

It's not as easy as you might think to hoop each square and to get the design exactly right in each square, and it doesn't really look like quilting on the back. The stitches are much smaller. I have a Viking Ruby and I have tried numerous ways to quilt a quilt. The best way is it quilt each square before you put the quilt together and to do it as a QAYG.

Hi
I quilt with my embroidery machine, I have the Babylock Elegante2. I use the Monster Snap Hoop, it's a very strong magnetic snap hoop. It's real strong! I can just lay my quilt sandwich on it, put the top hoop on and away I go, then lift the top hoop, readjust my quilt, top down and go again. It's not like using a regulation hoop where you hoop the fabric. The magnets literally hold a quilt sandwich firmly.....and I mean firmly! Love it! I have the 7x12 and the 5x7size. I use them for my towels, sweatshirts, anything bulky or thick.
It is available for most machine brands, check it out on YouTube or Designs for Machine Embroidery. They are rather expensive, but my embroidery options really expanded when I bought them.

Thanks Juanita

Could you post a picture of this quilt?

It's great I have used in many a time - it does take a little patience when hooping and I tend to use those little magnetic clamps around the hoop - why not try it on a small quilt first good luck
