sewhappy Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I was watching QVC today-It\'s quilt week apparently& the salesperson was going on & on about something called Vermichelli ? stitching- I waited awhile for a close-up & when they showed it- it was stipple!!! I had to laugh! Thought you all might get a kick also!! Can you charge more if it has an italian name??? Sewhappy I don\'t usually watch the shopping channels unless I can\'t sleep-saw it on the programing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerriVB Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 That is the term used for the stipple design when used in cake decorating!!! I learned how to do that in high school--long before I even knew about quilting!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 That seems appropriate - when I look at my stippling it seems to look like worm tracks. I suppose everyone has a different style of stippling? Have a great quilting day! Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 In the drafting world for architects, engineers, and landscape architects, stippling is a series of dots to denote a type of material change from the form next to it. I like the pasta reference because it really fits better to the shapes, though I\'m going to get caught up in trying to spell it correctly. I think we need a Shana directory of terms. Ha, ha.

Vicki So, Vicki, if we quilt "clouds" or "triangles" on our quilts does that denote a "Change" in design? Perhaps rather than ripping out my mistakes on the quilt, I will just quilt a giant "cloud" around it and call it good. Hey! No more ripping! YAAY!! What do you engineers think about that????? I\'d much rather quilt big cloud around my errors rather than rip it out. So, y\'all if you see my quilts with a big cloud around the outer border, you know I was not in the mood to rip.

Fickle kids these days......Just wait till you want something....money, new clothes, new car, new LA toy, and I bet you remember then those who have adopted you.

dorrlady Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks all for putting a smile on my face this morning!!! My husband had to ruin it when I went to a Bath and Body foot pampering party last night and he had the "nerve" to ask me how much I spent?!?! I told him THOUSANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol But seriously, I actually like to stipple, and now it will be VERMICHELLI, with an Italian accent of course. You know, instead of Target, it\'s Targett, lol.
