    Okay, I get the term "stippling", but not sure about "Pebbling". Do you have photos of it - also spirals, please - or suggest a site where I can see those? Thanks

    Here's a way to get a stencil without buying it. Click on the design to copy it, then paste it to a blank word document. Then right click on the design. You should be able to click on "format." This will bring up a menu so that you can enlarge the design. It'll be blurry, but good enough to trace onto a foundation paper. Then you can quilt right through the paper and tear it away as in paper-piecing. (Or, if you can draw, you can do it that way. I just can't draw.)

    Thanks for the link. I think that spider web pattern would be great on Halloween quilts.

    Janette, thanks for the hint. Stacking up the copy and then needling it is a real timesaver. Not to mention the time it takes to copy each piece. You are a genius!

    Try free style or templets drawn on the quilt. With practice it will be easier and more fun.

    What is the difference between stippling, meandering, & free motion?

    I finally ventured into "free motion" recently & after a lot of ugly samples, I just dug in & worked on a table runner I just plainly didn't like because I had used a too high loft. I got so excited by the way it was looking after a doing a sm. patch, I did the whole thing & now I love it. Now I'm looking for other pcs to do.

    Oh my gosh, I did this too. Then I could not get my rhythm going at all. I figured there are no stitching police around to see where my lines crossed. It was time to take a break.
