I've been trying to work out the logistics for this and I'm about ready to say it can't be done. What do I mean by "in the hoop trapunto"? In general:

1. Hoop the lofty or double batting and the block top.
2. Quilt the "puffy" area
3. Trim the batting
4. Layer the final batting
5. Quilt the fill in

All without removing the block from the hoop. Can't be done right? Even if I remove the batting from the back of the hoop, you still have to un hoop to put on the final batting in order to quilt in the fill which is what, I've read, really makes the puffy pop.

I'm cool with if it can't be done but I wanted to chat with you guys to see if I'm missing something.

Thanks,

Joann
