A technique like trapunto would probably be called sashiko in Japan, gewatteerd certainly would.</p><p>But I don&#039;t know if a Japanese speaker would refer to your little bride as being sashiko.</p><p><br /></p><p>So Sue, to prevent any confusion in techniques and languages, I think it is best to stick with the term silk applique picture.
