I did the weaving on a Quilters
Cut ‘n Press II. This is made by June
Tailor. The
same company makes a number of different sizes
of
lined padded
surfaces suitable for weaving. One of my
favorites
for larger projects
is called Pin-Weave Express.
It has a
16” x 26” lined surface for weaving, very desirable
if you
decide to weave
a large block, inset or border.
It is also lined in
1/2” increments, which
would be useful if you decide to use narrow-
er strips for
a project than I have used in mine. Of course, you can
make a
weaving surface, as I demonstrated on
the show, from
cardboard, batting
and muslin on which you have drawn lines at 1"
intervals.
Instructions for the
Trapunto by machine
techniques are included
in the “Tequila Sunrise” pattern.
However, should you wish to
delve deeper into the subject, Hari
Walner has written two books
on the subject — Trapunto by Machine (C&T
Publishing, $22.95)
and Exploring Machine Trapunto (C&T
Publishing, $24.95).
These can be purchased at quilt stores or
