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. 😀👍
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! ;)
That's awesome, Lipthink! Congrats on your new grand baby! Hope you have lots of fun sewing on that new machine! Thanks for watching the Man Sewing tutorials! :)
I truly enjoy learning from you. I have struggled for years on how to design masculine quilts. 40 years ago you couldn't get a mans ideas or views. I think I have learned so much from you. Again thank you
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.
My wife was a master-quilter before suffering from macular degeneration. She called a quilted non-patchwork piece, a "counterpane" I think. I'll try to find one she did and post a pic.
Thanks for the reminder -- I forgot about "flossing" to get both threads out and under the foot. I have a closed free motion foot and it isn't always easy.
I was just looking at botis hand embroidery, and I was thinking: Why couldn't you do something similar on the machine? You answered my question. Thanks for the tutorial!
Very Cool....love the sewing machine design also! You are a good teacher, you break it down step-by-step and I would love to see you do maybe some ruler work? Thanks again! Can we get a PDF of the sewing machine, by any chance? A girl has to ask, lol.
Love your videos! Have you attempted any ruler quilting yet? That is something you might want to look at when you have a spare minute. You are doing a great job! Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Chris! Here is a tutorial on creating sleeves and tabs for your quilts: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HiU_nJ0woeY.html Hope this helps!
Your videos are so very helpful. I have a wall hanging of flowers I want to FMQ & add trapunto to the main flowers. I know to add Xtra batting behind those flowers but can I sew my outlines from the front?? Not sure of procedure. TIA
cool technique- as far as new lessons - would like to do threads and working with different types- i am always thrown off when i change a thread and the tension is all wacky- or it goes well and then starts to skip a stitch.
I bought Hoffman's Call of the Wild Elephant panel and I just got it together using the Diagonally Inclined pattern and what I want to do is the trip punto effect around mama elephant and her babies. I guess I should ask you how I would go about doing trapunto on that particular panel. Are you familiar with that panel
Hi Vee! Not sure if I'm understand the question correctly. Do you mean the first round or stitching? Yes, you stitch once, then cut back to that sewn line. Hope this helps!
Hello Sandy! Depending on the project, the pressure foot varies, but I usually use my standard "hopper" free motion foot or standard piecing foot. Hope you have fun sewing! :)
