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:o

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

And the stitches were so pretty too! No loopys or nothing!

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

Well duh, of course the edge of the quilt was caught under it. I found out...1. There's a lot of stippling in a small space. 2. Stippling is difficult to unsew. 3. 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!!!
