The only time i've tried stippling so far was in the border of a baby quilt for my (now 3-yr-old) niece. Since I used a classic Pooh print as the main fabric, I thought I'd do stippling in the border and then applique little bees. That idea lasted roughly 2.7 seconds! :lol:
I ended up abandoning traditional stippling and just let the thread wander about and periodically threw in a free-motion bee outline, then free-motion embroidered "Bother free is the way to bee..." on the long sides. Came out very cute, but I'm not sure I'm ready to try it again yet!!!
