If you’ve ever admired the beautiful embossing on a vintage book cover and wished you could use that same look in your quilts and pillows, you might try trapunto. Trapunto is an Italian term for a style of quilting that creates designs in high relief. What trapunto means is that your quilt features great contrast in the loft of the design, giving it that lovely “embossed” appearance. • Textiles featuring the trapunto technique date back to at least the thirteenth century. A portion of the oldest trapunto quilt ever discovered hangs in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Called the Tristan Quilt, it’s from the late 1200s and depicts scenes from the famous Celtic story of Tristan and Isolde. • A second portion of the same quilt is on display at Palazzo del Bargello in Florence. Experts believe both pieces to be segments of the same textile, and both feature early efforts at what we today call the trapunto technique. • But what is trapunto quilting at home? Can you recreate the effect? And how difficult is it? • Trapunto means finding a design you adore and transferring it to fabric for trapunto quilting. You’ll find tons of online sources (free and paid) for trapunto designs — for your embroidery machine, for FMQ (Free Motion Quilting), and trapunto stitching by hand. • Once you find the perfect trapunto template, learning how to do trapunto quilting is easier than you think. Once you've transferred the design to fabric, you’ll love the trapunto embroidery you’re able to create on your embroidery machine, but these patterns are suitable for other types of easy trapunto quilting, too. • What Is Trapunto Embroidery? Using Your Embroidery Machine to Achieve a Trapunto Effect! This type of trapunto technique was developed quite recently. • The supplies needed to do trapunto on your embroidery machine include: • Embroidery Stabilizer (I like to use No-show mesh) • Batting (a few types, see below) • Fabric of your choice (you are not restricted by using quilting cotton, you can use velvet or silk to add an extra dimension to the Trapunto blocks). • Applique scissors (I like my duckbill scissors) • Generally, using this method, you’ll place batting on your stabilizer and stitch them together in the hoop. Next you’ll add a layer of high-loft polyester batting, Input your embroidery design and watch as the machine transfers your pattern to the hoop. • After the machine has transferred the design, you’ll remove the stabilizer, do a second trim around the added batting, and then add your top fabric. The machine will stitch all around the design, allowing the stuffed pieces to “pop up.” • There are different ways to do Trapunto embroidery and it depends on the embroidery design you are using. I decided to create the design myself with my Destiny 2 embroidery machine and Palette 11 software. But you can use great Trapunto designs from OESD embroidery library or some other sources.
