QUILTING or TRAPUNTO
QUILTING may be the most important process of making a quilt. You've got choices - a LOT of choices - to make even after getting your top made, and of course whole cloth quilts are nothing BUT decorative quilting...
I'm also including Sashiko(Japanese quilting), Stippling, and Trapunto(stuffed quilting) along with the hand- and machine-quilting. There's a lot published on the subject. At the moment, this is just a small sampling.
Anyone with more information to share, corrections to make, or has books and magazines to donate or sell, can contact me

This is well researched and crystal clear even the most experienced will find some tidbit to add to their store of knowledge. Find a copy of this book - you will not regret it.
