Abstract It is shown that for every admissible order v for which a cyclic Steiner triple system exists, there exists a biembedding of a cyclic Steiner quasigroup of order v with a copy of itself. Furthermore, it is shown that for each n ≥2 the projective Steiner quasigroup of order 2 n −1 has a biembedding with a copy of itself. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 19:16‐27, 2010
