We embroidery the squares before the quilt is assembled, much simpler, less
fabric.

I have quilted about 15 quilts on my EMT10T single needle machine.  From
crib size to king size.  The center is the hardest part because of the
amount of fabric you need to get on the machine.  When you quilt you should
either pin baste or use a hand basting stitch to hold it together.  If you
start from the outside you can wind up with excess backing in the middle.  I
have found that it is easier to get the large quilts on the machine if you
use the round hoops.  If you use the large jacket back hoops it takes up a
lot of the room you need to put the quilt under the arm/hoop of the machine.

If you have any questions give me a call and I will try to help you.
