My brain just doesn't connect with the "don't cross lines" mentality.
You can cross lines! If you are stippling you shouldn't, but how would you make loops or swirls or feathers if you can't cross lines. Get your mocha 301 out and have at it girl! The stippling pattern is not the easiest way to start FMQ, there are lots of other styles to practice on - strictly my opinion. It should be relaxing and fun not fear inducing!
