Imagine easily quilting exquisite accents with the simple approach to Trapunto
In Basic Trapunto, Bev McClune reveals her secrets to successful and uncomplicated trapunto in an enjoyable two hour DVD that will leave you with a quilt that will dazzle and amaze.
Trapunto, sometimes referred to as stuffed quilting or raised quilting, is a long-established quilting technique that can make a simple piece of white fabric come alive. The technique of Trapunto creates the glorious French Provencal wedding quilts – these whole cloth quilts are traditionally all white for the marriage bed.
