walking foot & J - foot?
#11
feet up, j foot, very small stipple.
When i used the darning foot with feet down I just slid around and it looked a mess. I use the walking foot on thick seams,SITD. I use the 1/4 foot for most of my quilting so I can outline inside the blocks, on both sides of the seams.

I have a Brother embroidery machine with the stipple stitch and I was wondering the same thing - that stitch is so small no matter what you do. So, I emailed Brother and asked how to use it. Here is the reply I got:
You can use the following steps to do a stippling stitch.
1) Please set the pattern stitch selection to 62. (or whatever the number is on your machine)
2) You can change the width setting between 0 to 7. This will change
the needle position.
3) You can set the stitch length between 1 to 4. This is depending on
how long you would like the stitches to be.
4) You will lower the feed dogs by pressing the feed dog switch to the
left. This will allow you to sew in a fast pace and move the fabric
slowly to do the desired stippling stitch.
5) You will use the original zigzag presser foot.
This is how you would do a stippling stitch.
If you have any further questions or concerns please let us know.
I haven't tried it again since I got this reply but it doesn't seem much different than what I was trying. Right now the machine is in the shop. Maybe I will try again with this stitch when it comes back!
If anyone figures it out, I sure would like to know.

I emailed Brother this afternoon and was told I would get a reply in one business day. That's when I decided to ask the board. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to try this out.

I used the J foot with feed dogs up and it was OK on my sample piece and as you say for back ground areas and filling in, I do not think I would use it for quilting all over a large area though. Looks like it might be for wall hangings or table runners, embroidery etc. At this point in time I can imagine it for use with a quilt as you go hexagon pattern which I have, it could look quite effective on that. I am only just learning to quilt in the ditch so FMQ is way over the horizon for me yet!!!

This is the response that I received from Brother:
Thank you for taking the time to write to us.
To be able to successfully stitch the #49 stippling stitch, you will
need to use the Zigzag "J" foot.
Using any other foot may cause the needle to break or cause damage to
the machine.

can email us back or speak with our Sewing Operational Support Customer
Service Representatives for any assistance by calling 1-877-BROTHER
(276-8437), Monday through Friday between 8am to 5pm CST.

I have a DC3018 Janome, I set the needle at 6.5 for 1/4 inch and then use the walking foot to sew. My material will not slip then. Works great! And yes this is a great topic....learning new things all the time is GREAT!
