Embroidery
Embroidery is a classic quilting embellishing technique that can be used to create intricate designs, add texture, and highlight certain areas of your quilt. There are many different types of embroidery stitches that can be used for quilting, including satin stitch, backstitch, and couching.
To embroider on a quilt, you will need a needle, thread, and a design. You can either freehand embroider your design or use a template or stencil. Once you have your design, simply follow the instructions for the stitch you are using to create your embroidery.
Fabric Manipulation
Fabric manipulation is another great way to add interest and texture to your quilts. There are many different fabric manipulation techniques that can be used for quilting, including applique, trapunto, and pleating.
To applique on a quilt, you will need to cut out pieces of fabric and sew them onto the quilt top. Trapunto is a technique that involves quilting through multiple layers of fabric to create a raised effect.
