My First Stipples with the Bernina BSR

So before we head off to the Houston Rodeo where we'll get to see handsome cowboys, and Brad Paisley in concert - yaaay -- here are my first and second attempts at stippling using the Bernina BSR foot on my 730E.  The first attempt is using the foot control, mode 1.  The second picture shows my attempt in mode 2, which is where you control the speed by moving the fabric.  I prefer mode 2.  I have more control when everything is being done by my hands and I don't have to think about my foot too.  I also find I can go slower than with the foot control. 

I don't think I did too bad.  I'm a natural doodler, so it was fun to practice over the last few days by doodling on a notepad!   And I used the Machingers I bought.  Those were a great investment!
