Quilting and Embroidery Tip.
I had finished my quilt, but before binding I decided to add another border. I do not have a quilting machine, I do not free hand quilt.
How do I quilt it? I decided I could quilt the border using a embroidery machine design. I did, and it worked beautiful. I did measure, and test embroidery on similar set ups till I liked the results. I did babysit the embroidery process making sure the weight of the whole quilt did not weight down or imped the embroidery arm. I have quilted several variations of this process depending on the quilt. I love it.

Quilting/Embroidery tip.
Quilting the bottom border of my almost finished quilt, using an Embroidery Design. I attached the bottom embroidery hoop, no stabilizer, no top hoop, 3 layers fabric, top fabric, batting, and back fabric. On test fabric, run a test. I measure placement design and placement on border. Using those measurement centers and start point, clip the 3 layers border fabric in center position so the fabric is taut. Embroidery. If the border is not clipped on all 4 sides watch and sometimes check the raw edge of border making sure it is in place. Check often that the bulk of the quilt is not impeding the embroidery arm. Enjoy..
