Quilt in a Day Forums

How would you quilt the embroidered quilt blocks? Do you quilt stitch over the embroidery work or only quilt around each item in the block? Suggestions please. Thank you!

I don't think I would stitch over the embrodery. I think it will depend on what the embroidered design is...maybe just run a line of stitching 1/4" away from the outside edge of the embrodiered design.
Just my two cents.

I either Echo or meander around the embroidery!

Cheers!

Oh don't quilt over the embroidery! Please:) After all that work it would be a shame. Here are some closeups of one of my embroidered block quilts. I think the key is no matter what you do in the enter block get pretty close to the embroidery to make it lay nice and flat.

Michelle that quilt is exquisite!

OMG your embroidery is exquisit. You do a very good job on the quilting, too.

I would never quilt over embroidery either. Michelle your quilt is beautiful and that it a great way to quilt it.

1QN - you must be getting close if you are asking questions about how to quilt it. WOO HOO
SFO - this quilt you did is one of my all time favorites. It's just beautiful.

Thanks .....Your advice has helped me a lot. I love that Embroidered Quilt you shared photos of with us, SFO!! Beautiful! Did you machine embroidery it and quilt it on a Long Arm? It is so pretty.

SFO quilter:

What length stitch do you use on the white part of your quilt? It is just what I am looking for.
