Does anyone know for sure?

Stipple: Do not cross previous lines of stitching.
1. You can stipple as close or as far apart as you like.
Meander: Permission granted to cross those lines.
1. What my stipple usually turns out to be. <-- :-(

I would really recommend doing some practice on paper or a white board. I was trying to do a non-crossing meander but kept meandering myself into a corner. It really helped to practice with a whiteboard! I would draw a square, rectangle, triangle etc. then practice. I also would just start in the center and see if I could cover the whole board. I used a 12X18" board, a pad of newsprint paper this size would also work.
