I need some ideas as to how to machine quilt (I have an HQ16) a quilt that has been made with blocks that are embroideried. There is a pattern on the blocks for hand quilting but if I follow that, I will constantly be stopping and starting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have done quilts with embroidered blocks. They don't look nearly as nice as the one crazycreekcreations did--nice work!!!!--but I have done a free motion all over pattern. I stitch around the embroider on the blocks and cover the sashing, etc. with stitching. I have also done an outline around some sunbonnet sue's and then meandered everything else.

Is it possible to do a panto over the embroidery? I was just asked to do an embroidered stamped cross-stitched baby quilt. The stitches are nice and tight and a low profile, I'm assuming going over it will be ok? Any one ever panto over? Thanks.
