True stippling is a micro stitch and very densely placed but that is just semantics. Micro quilting (very, very dense background quilting, can be stipple, pebbling or any other dense small fill design) can command upwards to .06 to .10 cents per s/i and more but it should never be used as an all over. It is a background fill used to make other elements such as applique or a quilted feather wreath pop.
