I don't do a lot of stippling these days so I really had to HUNT for this!! LOL* This is what I "like" my stippling to look like, but I'll be truthful, this one was just one of those days that everything meshed and it turned out consistent. That doesn't always happen. Quilting is as unique as handwriting. Don't stress over it!!! Also realize that everything gets better with practice! Good luck!

I had to use a dry erase board and just sit and "doodle" until I was comfortable doing it on the quilt.Its a "hand -brain_ eye coordination that you are trying to conquer.Try this out and see if it helps.Have a great day

Everyone has his/her own 'signature' stipple style. However, if you try to make a horseshoe shape each time before curving in another direction, you will soon get into the rhythm.I think consistency is what makes or breaks the look.

My biggest problem with any FMQ is not watching where I am going and 'paint myself in a corner or dead end'. Then I have to rip stitches. A neat tip is to watch ahead of your sewing machine- where you're going instead of where you are. And practice- lots.
