3D puff embroidery digitizing
3D puff embroidery gets its raised look from a layer of foam placed under the thread. The embroidery machine stitches over the foam, and the foam pushes the design up from the fabric. The digitizing decides whether that foam is held down cleanly or ends up torn, crushed or poking through.
What makes puff digitizing different
- Dense, closely packed stitches that cut the foam along the edges and hold it in place.
- Shapes built for foam, with bold, simple outlines rather than hairline detail.
- Planned stitch order, so foam is covered fully and any excess tears away cleanly.
Designs that work best
Puff works best with bold letters, blocky shapes and simple logos. Very thin lines and small details do not hold up over foam. As a general guide, puff lettering needs to be about a quarter inch (6 mm) tall or larger, and we will tell you if your artwork needs to change to work as puff.
