Free Motion Stippling Free Motion Stippling not only keeps the top, batting and backing together, but it also adds texture and interest to your quilt. Set your Pfaff creative 2124 for stippling with a Straight Stitch (1) and lower the feed dogs. Attach the free motion quilting foot (extra accessory).Lower the pressser foot lifter to the darning position. Pin baste your quilt layers. Prepare your quilt as explained in the Stitch in the Ditch method. Practice stippling on scraps of fabric and batting. When the feed dog is lowered, you move the fabric to determine the stitch length. Sewing with a constant speed will help to keep the stitches even. Begin near the center of your quilt. Take one stitch and pull the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt. Take a few stitches right next to one another to lock the threads. Now move the quilt so that your stitching creates scrolls and swirls. The stitching should not cross itself - but travel in swiveling motion all over the quilt. Tip: Use the Free Motion Guide grip to help move the quilt in a more consistent way. The Quilting table and Free Motion Guide foot are extra accessories created to make your stippling easier.
