Use Stitches > Raised Satin Fill to create raised embroidery designs consisting of multiple layers of satin stitching.
Use Edit > Create Trapunto Outlines in conjunction with Raised Satin to create quilt stitching for a raised ‘quilted’ look.
Traditional hand trapunto involves sewing two layers of fabric together with a motif outline. The underside is then slit and stuffed with yarn or cotton. BERNINA V9 offers a number of techniques for creating trapunto designs.
A modern technique used to create trapunto – sometimes called machine trapunto or cut-away trapunto – is to mark the design pattern on top of the quilt fabric with a water soluble marker. A layer of batting is then pinned to the underside of the fabric and two layers are stitched together. The batting is trimmed close to the stitching to create the embossed design. The quilt is then constructed by sewing the quilt top to the quilt back with another layer of batting in between.
Another technique is to use layers of thread instead of stuffing or batting to create dimension. The embroidery design consisting of multiple layers of satin stitching is first stitched onto Aqua Mesh water-soluble stabilizer. Then a top and bottom layer of fabric are added before the final outline is stitched around the design. Recommended settings for best loft are 0.30mm manual for satin spacing with 4 layers.
Note To make sure your design is displayed correctly 3D, particularly with Raised Satin in Artistic View, calibrate your monitor.
