Embroidery Steps

When embroidering for 3D Puff embroidery the tensions should be a little bit more loose than normal on the needle that will embroider the puff thread. If the design was digitized for 3D Puff, then it should have a color change or stop stitch. On the machine, this color change should be entered blank or without a number. Most embroidery machines will stop embroidering once it gets to an empty color change.

Once the machine stops, a piece of foam should be placed on top of the embroidery area. This foam is what is used to raise the stitches.

Fun Foam can usually be found at craft stores in sheets. The same color sheet should be used as the color of the thread. The foam should be precut.
