This is what I have been doing for the last 2 days, shoving a huge quilt through my machine! I'm doing a medium meandering stipple and must say I am pleased with how it has come out so far. I think using a new needle and 100% cotton does wonders. Just so smooth and flowing, no tension issues, no catching, dream stippling! I've done 4 rows of straight stitch in the ditch along the black border. Grace is excitied. She stands by the machine and asks "Have you finished my quilt yet?" I'd say by this time next week the answer to that will be yes!

Lovely, Helen! I'm glad it's going so smoothly. Nothing like a supportive audience, either!
I'd be standing next ti you too, and asking very impatiently :) It is gorgeous!
Oooh this is looking fantastic!
Stippling a rainbow - what a beautiful thought.
How gorgeous that Grace already adores her new quilt! Well done Mummy!
You're so brave. I've quilted 2 quilts on my machine, and had so many thread breakages, and tension issues. It's so frustrating!
It's so pretty and bright! I really like it.
