I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Best place to learn trapunto on TQS site
I need to know where to sew. I am putting an extra layer of batt under some spheres to give the illusion of dimension. Where do I sew down the batt? Would it be just inside the sphere or just outside the sphere?
Where can I see a demo of the right technique? I can't remember where I've seen it. I need to know asap so I can do my son's Christmas present.
Thanks, Jan

This wasn't on the TQS site, but I did find this Simply Quilts video link with Karen McTavish. Karen is the queen of trapunto and you might be able to pick up some ideas here:

The trapunto batting spheres could be in either area, depending on what you are going to do for stitching.
If you will be using dense stitching outside the sphere, and quilting right up to it tightly, then let the batting sphere be a smidge bigger, perhaps 1/8" so you catch it with your quilting.
If you will not be stitching tightly up to the edges of the spheres, but will be stitching on the spheres themselves, very close to the edges but still on the sphere fabric, then make the batting the same size. The top stitching will keep it in place.
Spray basting the batting spheres in place will help prevent them from shifting as you work on and around them.
I personally prefer the slightly larger batting with the denser stitching around them... it will make them pop more.
HTH!
And yes Philippa Naylor is one of the queens of trapunto and her show is excellent!

Since I just joined TQS in March of 2011, I am gradually collecting the DVD's of the old shows. I just viewed Episode 410 with John Flynn. In it Ricky demonstrates creating trapunto feathers using water soluble thread. I think its how I'd do trapunto if I wanted to use the technique. I wish there would be an index on the cite which would help us find those things. So often I have a question regarding a specific technique, I remember seeing it as an add on to a show and have no idea how to find it easily. Lois

Lois, one of the other members has done a spread sheet of all the episodes and put it on the site for others to share, unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember where it is, you could try using search facility on the board, or hope that the alternative search engine, aka Margo, comes to your rescue :wink:

Hello, I'm the member who did the spreadsheet. I stop updating the documents after series 9, because the search function on TQS has improved a lot. Though if you want to put in your own comments to be able to search them too, you can download my document and go on working with it. Here are the links. I have some problems with the doc version, so the difference between the plain version and rev1 is that episode 913 is in the last. If you have a newer Word, I recommend you take the docx version.

Merry Christmas and thank you all. If you want to see the results I posted the quilt on my profile and it's on the quilt gallery as of yesterday. The hardest part was appliqueing the bent checkerboard and also trying to weave the spheres. I cheated on the small ones and used checkerboard fabric. I used Laura Wasiloski's techniques and techniques from Anna Faustino and another quilter whom I took a class from who makes misty fuse. The name is unusual and she does her technique on one of the videos here. Jan
