Stippling Stitches

Add dimension to your quilt by stitching down the
surrounding background fabric around larger designs,
like hearts or flowers. Sew fabric layers in multiple
compact rows without the stitching lines crossing
each other. The more compact the stitching, the
more the background will flatten and make
surrounded designs stand out. This is a technique
commonly referred to as stippling.
A pre-programmed stippling stitch is a fast and easy
method to quilt small areas.

Choose one of two pre-programmed stippling
stitches. Place batting (wadding) between quilt top
and backing fabric.
