I have done this, but only a little. It really isn't practical for larger quilts; you have to support the weight of the quilt so that it doesn't drag when the machine moves the hoop. Getting the hoop around the quilt with top, batting, and backing all together is a bit of a challenge. Personally, I don't recommend it for any but the smallest quilts. It would be too easy to ruin the embroidery machine.

I quilt with my Bernina 830 - I use King Tut thread, a 90/15 top stitch needle. Also the tension should be adjusted to the sewing tension - not the embroidery tension. I generally use an outline design. The next one will be feathers, eagles and stars on a patriotic quilt.

I have a
Brother Pacesetter ULT2003D and a quilt I had made back in 2002. I took it apart each row. Then embroidered the blocks I wanted to quilt with a quilting design. I have embroidered several blocks and didn't want it quilted over so this was the only way I could see to do it. Now I'm in the process of quilting the blocks and borders. I think it will take a while. I will cute the back in strips and add them as I go, sitd as I go this time. Will have blocks of squares on the back. The quilted blocks I will stitch 1/4 in in one each block. Enjoy your quilting.
