Raised embroidery

RaisedSatinSample.pngIn addition to normal satin stitching, Hatch Embroidery also provides raised satin, both for outlines and fills. The resulting embroidery consists of multiple layers of satin stitching which adds dimension and a raised tactile surface to your designs. Of course it also uses a lot more stitches.

There are a number of techniques for creating trapunto designs. Traditional hand-trapunto involves sewing two layers of fabric together with a motif outline. The underside is then slit and stuffed with yarn or cotton. Another technique is to use Raised Satin instead of stuffing or batting to create dimension.
