Puffy Foam Embroidery

Using puffy foam in embroidery adds an extra dimension. It's a popular look for athletic embellishment.

Instructions

Step 1

Designs created to work with puffy foam include dense satin stitches with specially digitized "caps" at column ends, and little or no underlay.

Step 2

Select a foam swatch to match the thread color you intend to sew with. For this project, three colors of foam were used to match the thread color for each letter.

Step 3

Place your swatch of craft foam over the hooped fabric before the puffed embroidery area begins sewing. Secure with tape, if you like.
