Hi there ladies! I wish to try a trapunto design...has any of you made anything using this technique?

The German site of Bernina has a tutorial and 2 patterns.
Hope you understand some German.

Thank you so much Jannie ....used google chrome which translated the site so it was easier for me :)
I got the designs will give them a try!

I tried something with a regular embroidery design and posted in projects! :)

Try


designsbysick and click trapunto in word list.

Being pedantic, all of the trapunto designs I have seen are really simple quilting. In trapunto quilting, narrow channels are created and woollen yarn is threaded through them afterwards. Wadding may be used when stitching the design, but I don't think this is traditionally done.

Oh ok....but Sue I am talking about those trapunto designs which can be done on an embroidery machine! I have seen some beautiful ones....and it will be easier for a non quilter like myself to do! But I didn't find any which I liked to purchase ....wonder if any other embroidery design would work with this technique! ?
