Dense Quilting - embossing ?

Jul 27, 2009 1 Replies

The intention is to create a mild to medium degree of raised quilting image.



What materials would one use for quilting a simple design into upholstery weight fabric ? poly-batting, 1/2 inch foam ?



Does the backing layer need to be the same weight of the top layer ?



Does any one have a link to an example ?

Are you talking about trapunto? That is when you stuff up parts of the design...

Backing layer is usually a little lighter than the top layer. Poly batting would be good, couldn't imagine doing it w/ 1/2" foam.

Quite a bit popped up in Google...
