Trupunto is a technique where a 3d effect is achieved by layering or creating
puckered lines around a shape. It can be over cording, cloth of a different
color or batting. It is often done with thread of the same color as the top
layer of cloth. It's it's own embellishment treatment. Lots of time but the
effect is well worth the effort.Sincerely, Rebecca Rautine> Date: Mon, 25 Aug
