Meet your instructor, free-motion quilting expert Patsy Thompson, in this engaging introduction to hyperquilting. You'll learn what hyperquilting is as you start to practice and stitch out your echoed designs.
Increase your hyperquilting expertise with Patsy's help as you learn how to incorporate a second thread and stitch out a beautiful asymmetrical feather design. You'll learn how to determine the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing stitch paths as you gain confidence and skill with your stitching.
Master the basics of trapunto in this thorough overview. You'll learn how to choose from a wide variety of batting to get the look and feel that you want before stitching out trapunto appliqué designs. You'll learn how to outline your work in invisible thread, emphasize specific design ideas, trim the batting and much more.
Kick up your trapunto work as you create a beautiful feathered wreath design using water-soluble thread. Patsy shows you how to attach the trapunto layer to the top piece of fabric before stitching over the water-soluble thread with decorative threads. You'll gain more tips on trimming batting, adding echoes and stitching curves as you complete your wreath.
Discover special considerations for working with trapunto, in addition to specialty products like a steam-activated fabric that can add a whimsical crinkled texture to your projects. Patsy takes the intimidation factor out of trapunto projects by showing how a full quilt can be broken up into manageable hand-sewn or machine-appliquéd blocks.
Wrap up the new skills you've learned in class as you combine hyperquilting and trapunto techniques. Patsy walks you step by step through the creation of a gorgeous new project that combines texture, movement and dimension. Play with color and stitching techniques as you hyperquilt in different directions and tie the design together with a pronounced trapunto center.
