Hi Linda,
for the corded quilting you first sew a channel of 2 rows of running stitches – or whatever other stitches you fancy. Then from the back using a tapestry needle or similar a yarn is threaded through the channel. You can use special quilting wool, which is like untwisted knitting wool, or any other suitable yarn. In my case I used some left over cotton yarn that was just the right thickness for the channels. If you look at the photo of the back of the piece you can see the yarn quite well in the antennae and in the outline of the wings.

Hi Ruth
Have you seen the trapunto in Quilting in the Limelight, Phillipa Naylor ?
This is a lovely butterfly. I am wondering what exactly do you mean by corded quilting ..is it just a very small running stitch, using cotton thread ? Thanks , Linda

Hola Ruth, una de las cosas que más me gustan de su blog es que siempre se puede aprovechar de aprender , surgen nuevas ideas y maneras de lograr ciertas tecnicas que no es posible aprender de u libro , sino más bien de la experiencia de las personas, es algo que se debe agradecer, es usted muy generosa al entregar ese tipo de informacion.
Muchas gracias.
