Thanks for raising questions about stippling for hand quilters.
I have only dreamed of being able to do this. The closest I got was quilting lines 1/4" apart. I found it really hard. It was like the fabric became really stiff, and I couldn't do the rocking stitch as easily.
Borntohandquilt - do you find the fabric get stiff when you stipple? In your example (which is fantastic by the way) how did you approach the quilting? Did you do them say - 3 or 4 lines apart, then fill in the gaps? or did you do each row one after the other? Were there any difficulties, and how did you overcome them. Any tips or tricks?
I'd love to be able to do something similar so that I can get other areas of the quilt to standout. (Kind of like trapunto).
