I usually only do stippling because I don't have a walking foot and am afraid of getting puckers on my straight line quilting.<br /><br />Kristie, check out http://sunshine16.com/ it is a table top long arm quilting machine that costs less than a fancy sewing machine. It doesn't have a stitch regulator but it has the long arm reach so you can do large quilts which is my issue right now. There is only so much fabric you can shove under your sewing machine's arm. I tried it out at a quilt show and am hooked!Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687956328790829812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-7818661088132310482010-11-07T08:37:19.422+11:002010-11-07T08:37:19.422+11:00I just started stippling, too...have been scared o...I just started stippling, too...have been scared of it for so long, then when I did it I wondered what all the fuss was about! And it IS way faster than straight line quilting! Plus, I love the way it puckers the quilt. I have a crappy machine, but have heard much about the Bernina 440 and its stitch regulator...are you happy with that machine? What is the approximate price point on that baby??Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883718447957850898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-71888739032101887922010-11-06T22:17:47.748+11:002010-11-06T22:17:47.748+11:00Your stippling looks great!

I love hand quilting, but if you can't see it its just not worth it.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416091424301654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-73331492192226834032010-11-06T12:53:40.073+11:002010-11-06T12:53:40.073+11:00Stippling turned out wonderfully for your FIRST ti...Stippling turned out wonderfully for your FIRST time girl! I love your backing very much so:) <br /><br />Personally, I really enjoy the hand quilted look so I would say for you to take the time to hand quilt the flowers up;)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247447650956604911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-18831667850210005152010-11-06T11:22:15.664+11:002010-11-06T11:22:15.664+11:00Great job!

Mostly because I'm new and embarrassed to let others see the "inside" of my quilt. I think I'm going to suck it up and send the next one out though.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062748896825971446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-9138545434640154662010-11-06T11:05:50.139+11:002010-11-06T11:05:50.139+11:00I have to say, WOW! you did an amazing job and it&...I have to say, WOW! you did an amazing job and it's inspiring.

I think that I would go ahead and do whatever quilting on the flowers you do by machine (but, I'm not at all into hand quilting!). <br /><br />I have a Bernina 440 also and I love it and love the stitch regulator.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781651275997050281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-15419893460710000472010-11-06T09:23:53.418+11:002010-11-06T09:23:53.418+11:00That looks great!

You did a great job on your stippling...Hi Rebecca,<br /><br />You did a great job on your stippling. I think your flowers are really cute! Since the fabric in your flowers is pretty busy. Any quilting you do inside will be hard to see. You could stitch a quarter inch in from the outside seam on your petals like you did in your sashing. That will accentuate the flowers. And I would just do it with your sewing machine. And once again good job!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938036082713836623noreply@blogger.com
