ABSOLUTELY!!! Every chance I get!! It doesn't always work well with other quilting designs because it creates such a strong texture, but it is great for many applications!! For example, I wouldn't use it in a small or narrow space because it ends up looking like "bananas", and I wouldn't use it next to heirloom feathers because the curves detract from the curves of the feathers. However, it looks absolutely fabulous in open areas as background filler, on applique to accent leaves or petals, to create the illusion of air or water, and I could go on and on. The best part is that it is such a fun design to do; they do not all have to be uniform in size and the design is a lot more interesting than plain ol' stippling all of the time. I highly recommend this method to any machine quilter, even beginners. (I've even heard of hand quilters using this in their work.)
