I find I'm concentrating too much on not crossing lines of stitching and trying to decide where to go next and keep the stipple in a relatively same size. I'm more comfortable with something that feels like handwriting. Maybe it's from so many years of "Palmer Method", handwriting with the nuns!!!

I feel the same way. AND I always relay on my grandmother's saying: Remember, a blind man would be pleased to see it.

I do keep trying to stiple though! Never was great at penmanship.
