So, as I said before, I am brand new to Free Motion Quilting. As I'm practicing, it seems like doing circles is much easier than stippling. But when I see other's quilts, 95% are stippled. Is there something I should know about stippling?:-) What do all of you prefer?

It is quilter choice. If like doing circles then that's what you shoud do. Thank you for the idea, by the way, as I have not tried circles before.
With stippling you just keep wiggling and moving around filling in space.

If the circles you are doing are small, it is called "pebbling", I believe.
There is no reason why you cannot do circles, if that is what you are more comfortable with. Stippling does take a little more practice to get an even flow.
Keep practicing!! You will be an expert before you know it!

I would absolutely love to see some pictures as well. I have not yet tried this but really really want to! I am making my nephew a quilt for his baby (my siblings are much older than I! LOL) anyway I'd like to do this to his quilt and would love to see pictures....thanks!!!

In my opinion, I only use pebbeling when making a wallhanging, because it makes the quilt very stiff. I make my circles very small. I can not imagine covering myself with a quilt that was pebbled. But that is my opinion only. This picture is not mine, but I found it around. The pebbling is the tiny circles between the leaves. When I do it, my secret is to aim all the pebbles to be exactly the same size, and as a result I get a very smooth difference in sizes.
