To do stippling I use my regular sewing machine. Drop or cover feed dogs (depending on which machine I am using) and put on a darning foot, set stitch lenght to 0, release presure on foot. Then after a small warm-up piece, begin sewing on the quilt. You can watch some good vidieos on you tube. Try Daystyle designs with Leah Day, she is quite good. I started by making shopping bags until I got more comfortable with the free motion and have worked my way up from there. Relax and have fun with it. You'll get there too.
