Patchwork and quilting

Patchwork and quilting

Trapunto is a form of quilting in which a single outline in small running stitches is worked through two layers of relatively fine material. In this technique, the backing is a loosely woven cloth, such as muslin. The stitching is used to create a pattern, which is filled with cotton wadding drawn through the muslin from the back with a steel crochet hook. Each element of the design is padded in this manner.
