I am now comfortable to do meandering. But have not tackled stippling (but getting closer). Before I start meandering on my quilt, I pull out a scrap sandwich and do a short practice before I start on the quilt. This gives my mind and body some warm up to get in the groove.
When quilting you need to find your "sweet spot". That is where you and your stitches and machine are working together. It may be fast, medium or slow. Mine is in the medium area. But my friend leans closer to fast. We each have our own "sweet spot"
