Because Stippling is so popular, many quilters feel that it's a bit overused, and even I found myself stuck for years in a stippling rut. It's perfect for machine quilting densely into the background areas of a wholecloth quilt, or expanding to a large scale to quilt a soft bed quilt.

Stippling has a very unique texture that appears to flatten or recede into the background of a quilt. It's important to trace a quilting design with a pencil because it will help you learn the design and commit it it to memory, much like learning cursive writing. You can print this page as many times as you need and practice tracing and quilting this design.

This quilting worksheet can be found in the Free Motion Basics for Beginners workshop. Please understand that it's perfectly fine to cross your quilting lines, and there are many designs we use in quilting that involve crossing and travel stitching to form the design.Ī great way to practice Stippling is by drawing it on paper because the same metal muscles that you use to draw the design will be used to quilt it. It has confused many beginning quilters into thinking that we are not supposed to ever cross our lines of quilting. It's important to note that this is a specific rule only to Stippling. Stitch a wiggling, meandering line that doesn't cross itself. The rule behind Stippling is very simple: Once you memorize the rules of a design and practice quilting it, you will be able to quilt it anywhere. These rules are as simple and easy to memorize as the rules behind cursive writing. It also helps to reduce thread breaks - something I always want to avoid!Ĭlick Here to find all three of these tools bundled together in the Queen Supreme Kit.Īll free motion filler designs have basic rules that govern how they are stitched. This little disc helps my bobbin thread feed as evenly as the top thread so the back of the quilt will look as good as the front. This slippery Teflon sheet helps to minimize friction between the back of the quilt and the surface of the machine and table.Īnother tool I keep in my home sewing machine all the time is a bobbin washer. I also place a Queen Supreme Slider over the machine to make the quilt easier to move. It's really essential to have something on your hands that helps grip the quilt top, otherwise the fabric tends to slip under your fingers. When quilting on a home machine, I use Machingers quilting gloves to help my hands grip the quilt and give me lots of control over the quilting design. I hope you enjoyed seeing how I quilted Stippling on both types of machines.

Learn how to machine quilt Stippling with me in this video:įor this tutorial I quilted on my home sewing machine, a Bernina 1230, and my Grace Qnique longarm set up on a Continuum frame. It can be a bit tricky to learn how to quilt Stippling without stitching yourself into a corner. Stippling is also referred to as Meandering because the lines randomly meander over your quilt without crossing. Stippling is one of the most popular free motion quilting designs, and the first design I learned how to quilt as a beginner.
