There are lots of ways to do trapunto. I have put the part I want extra puffy on top of an extra piece of batt and used water solvable thread to outline stitch around my shape. I then trim off the extra batt and make my regular quilt sandwich. I quilt my quilt and do an outline stitch around the shape again to keep the extra batt in the correct spot. I spritz my quilt to dissolve the water solvable thread if needed. Sometimes I don't bother removing it because it will come out in the first wash.
