Let $\mu$ be a nonnegative Borel measure on the unit disk of the complex plane. We characterize those measures $\mu$ such that the general family of spaces of analytic functions, $F (p,q,s)$ which contain many classical function spaces, including the Bloch space, $BMOA$ and the $Q_s$ spaces, are embedded boundedly or compactly into the tent-type spaces $T_{p,s}^\infty(\mu)$. The results are applied to characterize boundedness and compactness of Riemann-Stieltjes operators and multiplication operators on $F (p,q,s)$.
