And if you are doing the stippling on a queen size quilt on a long arm frame.........allways check and make sure you put the foot down........ask me how I know

At first I was a better ripper than stippler, but that has changed with lots of practice. Hang in there.

Well as you have and will be hearing - most of us have been there. Don't give up but don't get frustrated either, there is always another day and another quilt - Thank Goodness

I decided I didn't want to stipple after all on this particular quilt, so will be using a different method. Ayyyeyiieeeyiieeee!
Oh, and most important 4. Check your bottom soon after a few stitches!
i THINK WE HAVE ALL DONE THAT!!!
