Wow, good fabric works!
July 23, 2008I think I know what went wrong with the other wholecloth. To use shadow trapunto I needed the top fabric to be thin. I found one that allowed the colour through pretty well, but I didn’t exactly like it. I gave up and I am now just working on a plain wholecloth. It’s only just started but boy I love it already. The difference, well I am now using cotton sateen over wool wadding. I think that is the key, the much higher quality fabric. I am sure the lovely wadding is helping too, but the stitches just look so good on the sateen.
So I am now quite optimistic about this quilt. I still can’t be sure I will get it done in time, but I feel I can give it a very good shot. Yes I will put up a photo later, just a little teaser.
