TRAPUNTO QUILT BLOCK - ANATOMY OF THE DESIGN
When creating the trapunto quilt block in-the-hoop, you will be adding 2 additional layers of batting to the
block. This step occurs after the first layer of batting is tacked down and before the base fabric is placed.
The decorative embroidery stitches overlaying the base fabric allow the extra layers of batting to rise above the
rest of your block, creating a truly dimensional look.
Notes:
Each block in this section
includes echo stitching
that radiate off the main
element, following the
shapes of the center design.
The center design
will have decorative
bean stitches to
outline and add detail
to the puffy element.
