this is the best advice.
there are a few different ways to approach it.
even if you don't buy any of the commercially available patterns for trapunto in the hoop, you'll be able to see examples, tutorials, etc. on some of those approaches.
steps i've seen most often:
hoop backing fabric
float the batting
float water soluble stabilizer on top of the batting
stitch
cut away the excess batting and stabilizer
float the top fabric
finish stitching
this is an over-simplified list of steps
you will want to try as many different methods as possible using test fabric and batting.
i've played around with it a little.
haven't yet had the time or temerity to jump in with both feet. lol
