Trapunto Quilting

Rob demonstrates a high-loft, mega-textured style of free motion quilting known as Trapunto.

I use Water soluble thread for the first outlining. After cutting away the batting, use regular thread for stitching the same lines through the sandwich. Then dab away the water soluble thread with wet cloth, and you will have only one line of stitching around the design. Much neater.

Oh my goodness! I am reading a historical fiction book about pioneers and heard about type of quilt (the Pilgrim's Progress quilt) and started googling what that would look like. I came across a few articles that touch on the history of quilting and trapunto. You are amazing! I've always wanted to learn to quilt and I couldn't have found your channel at a better time! I'm now subscribed. ^_^

Love this. Thanks Rob. I know the first time I saw this technique many years ago it was much more complicated. I remember them making a small opening on the back side of the area to be lofted and stuffing it, then hand sewing it closed. This is much easier. 😀👍

I am just now starting to freestyle quilt! I have never heard of or seen this type of quilting! You are the bomb!

I love how you teach. Don't stress it. Yeah!

Terrific! Your tutorial FMQ is so easy to follow and steps are clear. My husband surprised me with a new machine just for FMQ and quilts. This one I found very inspirational that I think I may apply Trapunto to a new quilt for my newest grandbaby, just in time! Thanks Rob! ;)

Loved this video. I had never heard of this type of quilting and love it. I will be trying this. I’m new to quilting and doing Applique, so I find your tutorials extremely helpful. Looking forward to watching more.

I always thought you got the extra depth by adding multi layers of batting, so thank you for this video!
