I consider FMQ, meandering and stippling - large or small to be all the same. I do that on all my quilts because I love the look and love doing it. I use one of two 9"throat machines. Unlike most people I don't care for the fancy stitches. Just call me Plain Jane Quilter. I don't ever plan to make an heirloom quilt either. I don't care for the art quilts. Just my humble opinion for MY quilts. Others can do what pleases them, after all that is what I do.
