Ahhhhh man! Stippling.....
#21
Been stippling for quite a while now and still every now and then have to rip out some stitches. Ugh. Other than that, for me, stippling or meandering is the way I love to quilt. Can't follow straight lines or stitch in the ditch, so it is the best alternative quilting for me.

Wow, that's awful.
I got a little confused when you said to Check your bottom. Then had to laugh at my confusion. It's been a crazy few days in my world.
Hope all is good for you now and that you keep on keeping on with that stippling.

DON'T GIVE UP!!! I was told by a quilting instructor to take a paper and pencil and meander a pattern the size I wanted to stipple. This apparently kind of sets the brain for size. Then don't stipple for more than 20 minutes at a time. Wear quilting gloves(machingers) to help grip the fabric. Most important............have a glass of wine and RELAX. It will happen and you will have a beautiful quilt that you can say "I Did It!" Enjoy!!!!!

I hear ya sister it's not my favorite thing to do either. I am very rarely satisfied with the results. I have discovered that I really enjoy hand quilting. Who would of thought! But this board has been a great help.
