Same answer: I can't see why not, just leave out the stuffing/batting.

I support Mops and Shirlene's answers
yep you can,
I have many of Anne maries trapunto sets
I have just had a quick look through and they all seem to be pretty similier
the designs come with 2 colours..
the first colour to run the trapunto design
the second colour to run the picture design
otherwise they are pretty much redword designs lol

yes but there is a trick. you have to stitch the batting .<br />1. hoop the under fabric or back side right side down.<br />2. pin the batting, u my have to use WSS on top of the batting.<br />3. stitch the section you want to trapunto<br />4. cut all the batting outside of the design<br />5. lay the top fabric on the hoop <br />6. Now stitch the design.
