Large Machine stippling by a beginner

Machine stippling for beginners by a beginner. I've only been quilting for a year and I wanted to share my stippling video -- I'm not the greatest and I'm sure elitists would say it's not stippling at all, but rather "meandering" however I'm pretty pleased that I've come this far and wanted to share with other beginners and tell them DON'T BE AFRAID! It will look nice in the end, I promise! LOL

SO much of what I learned I learned from Leah Day at DayStyleDesigns.com or check out her quilting vids at her YouTube channel: lcvday

Enjoyed watching your video! I'm a beginner sewer so far and getting ready within the next few weeks to begin my own quilting venture. I noticed you have a Bernina, Is it a long arm? Or just a regular sewing machine? Thanks and keep making videos!!!

@arainboz It's just a regular Bernina. I love it! Good luck and don't be discouraged, it takes a bit of getting used to but if I can do it, you can!

I have just started quilting again after a long time and I love what I have learned here. I have been struggling with my first quilt with all the pins, but thanks to you I feel more possitive and ready to give it another go. Thank you so much. : )

@kcsmom11 SO glad to be of service. It's daunting at first, but if I can do it, anyone can!!

Thanks so much for the video! I'm a beginner and have been hearing such horror stories about machine quilting that I almost decided to not try it. Watching this I've realized it doesn't seem so scary! :) Thanks!

@zjgreen0 Thank you so much! This totally made my day!

You are very sweet. Liked your video and look forward to more. Please don't give up on making your videos as you seem quite shy. You have very nice way about you and did well on your video. I thought Stiplling was done by hand. If there is a way you are able to do it by hand, would you please let me know what I need as far as tools and how to use them? Thank you and God bless you.

I would love to see the finished quilt and a closer look at the large stippling. I really like that.

You are so precious! Love your spunky spirit! You are so right about the spray basting! Pins are out! Spray is in! Great Video!

I enjoyed watching this 'real' video and found it quite helpful. I am doing my first quilt so it was good to learn from another semi-beginner....thanks so much for the tips!
