Abstract

A method of forming reversible shadow multicolored trapunto provides a plurality of steps in order to form the design including first the lamination (i.e., arrangement in layers by stitching together) of a plurality of thin, sheer fabric layers preferably a first top sheer fabric layer and a second bottom sheer fabric layer. A stitched, bordered design is formed in the layered fabric, the stitched border laminating the multiple fabric layers together. The stitched, bordered design comprises a plurality of segmented areas, each surrounded by and defined by the stitching. A needle threaded with colored yarn is inserted through a first opening at one end portion of the fabric and into the space between the two fabric layers of a given segment, the needle forming the opening upon insertion. The segment is then traversed by the needle internally between the fabric layers. The needle is then withdrawn from a selected second opening in one of the fabric layers at the opposite end portion of the segment until the yarn occupies the space in the void between the fabric layers. Then the yarn is cut at the first and second openings and the openings are closed with the thumb or a needle.
