Trapunto, from the Italian for "to quilt," is a method of quilting that is also called "stuffed technique." A puffy, decorative feature, trapunto utilizes at least two layers, the underside of which is slit and padded, producing a raised surface on the quilt.
History
The style originated in Italy before the 14th century.[2]
Technique
Trapunto is often confused with the relatively similar techniques used in making traditional whole cloth Provençal quilts that were developed from the 17th century onwards in France.[3]
Earliest
One of the earliest surviving examples of trapunto quilting is the Tristan Quilt in the Victoria and Albert Museum, a linen quilt representing scenes from the story of Tristan and Isolde which was made in Sicily during the second half of the 13th century.[4] Another piece of the Tristan Quilt, thought to be from a pair to the V. & A.'s example, is in the Bargello, an art museum in Florence.[4]
Modern
The technique was used for the inner-tunic collars worn in Star Fleet uniforms from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Unfortunately, as of the 1980s, functional trapunto machines were rare, and the specialized needles which they employed were even rarer.
