I'm going to do all over stippling on it.
Ive seen where some put the batting but not the backing fabric and do the design. This way the design is attached to the batting, giving it more support. Then just add the backing and quilt around the design. This is especially good to do if your machine has lots of jump stitches or the top thread also shows on the bottom when it shouldn't. My machine has thread positioning so it isn't a problem for me, it allows my designs to look the same on the top and bottom of my fabric. there are so many ways to do each thing, it's just a matter of finding out what works for you.
