Quilted embroidery creates dimension by stuffing or filling areas to produce a raised surface. It employs a technique known as ‘trapunto’, also referred to as ‘stuffed embroidery’.
Quilting design work in Hatch relies on two techniques:
Raised satin |
This allows you to create ‘puffy embroidery’. Recommended settings for best loft are 0.36mm manual for satin spacing with 3 layers. |
Trapunto outlines |
This allows you to turn puffy embroidery designs into trapunto quilting. |
The Raised Satin is first stitched onto Aqua Mesh water-soluble stabilizer.
A top and bottom layer of fabric are added.
A final trapunto outline is then stitched around the design.
Tip: Trapunto outlines can be used for lettering and special calligraphy effects.
