Large appliques "stuffed" does anyone know?
Am making a "magical" quilt for great granddaughter and it will consist of fairly large appliques of unicorns, fairies, princess (s) and a castle. I have never done any stuffing (trapunto) on a quilt and have tried researching this but I find all these absolutely beautiful trapunto quilts usually consisting of lots of machine quilting or embroidery; nothing at all like I have in mind. I just wanted to stuff the bodies of the unicorns; dresses of princess and fairies but will not be doing a lot of machine quilting; most will be hand quilting. My appliques are hand applique (turned) and what I would like to do is put slit in back of quilt top and stuff them before embroidering the face detail etc. Any advice?? Thank you all so much for any tips.
