You do not need to stipple. You can do any type of quilting such as cross hatch, in the ditch, shadow quilting or free hand. By free hand I do not mean stipple. You can meander or move your quilt in a rotating fashion to get circles, or move it as if you were drawing and get shapes like leaves.You can do this by using your normal sewing machine and increasing the stitch length to 3.

Can't help you with your question - but hope you enjoy using your machine as much as I enjoy using mine. I think it's a dream!

Just a thought.... depending on your fabric, how about doing a series of random dinosaur outlines along the edges.... kinda like applique without the fuss. Shows up the same on both sides.
I am doing my first quilting on the 11000 and am using some butterflies for my granddaughter to quilt... but, anything can happen from here on out.
Good luck!

You'd have to do your own stippling, but Henry's are the best real looking dinosaurs I have found.

I have several applique dinos. One set is from adorable applique right here on the sister site. Another is from linniepinnie. Nitas Place has some. There are several sets at both ArtisticThreadWorks and designsbysick.com. Good luck! If you like the artistic thread works, you can join for a week (I think) for $1 and download all you have time to!! But they do renew automatically. I love their site.

There's great advice here and I like the idea of using the applique designs without the appliqued fabric - just shadows of the dinosaur shapes. I haven't tried free-motion quilting yet but using for stitching leaf shapes sounds a good one, too.
I really like it when people ask questions that receive information I can store for future use.
Thanks, alexgrandma, and I hope your quilt turns out to be one that will be loved forever.

I use my embroidery machine a lot of this type of quilting. The light RW or outline designs work great. Embroidery library has many useful designs for this. I just purchased a few more with my birthday certificate and the special sale they were having. On the left side of the page you will find a link for quilting designs.

I am green with envy, I am thinking about the 11000 too but I have the 10001, A great Site to get really good designs was posted by Carolyn yesterday. It's Henry's Home page The designer did this for Janome! Enjoy but I should warn you if you do download them ALL you are looking @ about 3.5 hrs!

My Embroidery Haven has meandering set that I think you may be interested in. It is on sale right now. I just bought it and look forward to using it. It is in all sizes, borders frames and corners. Check it out.

Keep these in mind if you have a dino lover: http://brittdesigns.web.officelive.com/PrehistoricTimesAlphabet.aspx
