My quilt... my choice :wink:
I have read this "rule" before, and I have never agreed with it. :D:D:D

I think "stippling" and "meandering" are used to describe specific patterns that don't cross. Free motion quilting is whatever the heck you want it to be!!! Remind people like that that there are no quilt police!!! :D

I don't know who made the rules, but if my lines cross, oh well, too bad.

MY QUILT. MY WAY. That's it. I had a lqs insult me when I first started and I vowed never to do it to others. I informally teach quilting to two groups of ladies and I try to build up and encourage. The one who treated me bad was out of business about two years later. Life is too short to be bothered by the quilt police.

I would LOVE to see your cat quilt! And I promise I would never ever make a comment like that! :D

Sorry that happened. Some people wake up with a frown on their face. Mine usually goes away after I have coffee. :-P
On the bright side, be glad you don't have to live in the same house with her. :!:
It is your quilt, if you like it; I like it too. :thumbup:

If you've crossed the line, you've not made a stipple. You've just made a loopie, instead. Not a really big deal in my book, unless you are entering the quilt into a judged contest.

That's what I thought, too. Two different words for slightly different styles.

If you are drawing a specific shape or words, I'd say you are quilting a motif.

No really, what I'd probably say to them would get me bounced from the board!
