Batting, So What Do I Pick?
3/28/26 Class – Machine trapunto, small projects
Trapunto is a quilting technique that creates raised, dimensional designs by adding extra stuffing, like batting, into specific stitched areas, making them “pop” against the flatter background through dense quilting around the motifs. Traditionally done by hand by cutting slits in the backing and stuffing, modern methods use multiple batting layers, high-loft polyester, or even “faux” machine techniques to achieve the puffy, 3D effect easily on a sewing machine, adding texture and depth.
