how do you stipple?

What a great description! Absolutely right! Never really looked at it like that, but it is...! Imagine a little caterpillar dipped in color and allowed to wander all over the quilt top...or a snake..though those images could be disturbing to some I guess, ...anyway it is squiggles all over. Some modes of stippling also include the more graphic geometric stitching. Some quilt police would debate that. It is simply put...even ,consistent patterned stitching used to fill an area. These stitches be very close and often help to define. All over stippling is a true meandering appearance covering the entire quilt.

you betcha' ! think of some of the icing patterns....scrolls for instance....as a wonderful quilting pattern.....hhhmmmm!!! And those wonderfully made cakes with the almond paste and fine iceing designs...what a whole cloth quilt they would make...yummy.

some quilt snob might look down her nose at it but i'm pretty sure the Berlin Wall won't go back up. :wink:
i seem to recall hearing or reading somewhere that in a strictly technical sense it isn't stippling if the lines cross each other anywhere.
i try really hard to not worry much about such technicalities. i'll be happy enough if my first free motion attempt is simply not a complete disaster. (don't place any bets. i still haven't worked up the nerve to try. LOL)
