Tammy VB Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 How do you seem to get such good results with microstippling? Some of the beautiful quilts you've shared on this forum are breath-taking. My attempts at this are pretty bad. The tension is great otherwise until I try to do this very tiny stitching. It looks like mega needle flex on the back. Any advice? Thanks, Tammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I increase my stiches per inch and reduce my upper tension. I definitely have to adjust when I go from regular quilting to micro work. I think it also has to do with pushing all the layers together and they aren't as thick.

witha'K'quilting Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I increase the stitches per inch and go to non sr mode for microstippling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
