I decided to upload here along with ptojects as I wanted to put up more than one photo. You can see the stippling better in the close up. I will post the design in Cuties free designs tomorrow.

See the little stitched curves that surround the Rose? Like curved lines? Patterns like that are called Stippling... and it is used in Quilting.

But there is also a painting/drawing technique that is also called stippling. It is series of little points or dots that are used to form a shape or to shade.

Youtube video showing stippling in quilting:

I also found this one in fast forward and it is interesting

I did not watch the videos, just part of them, but you can see a lot of different videos on Stippling techniques. I hope that helps.
