5 Steps to your ultimate 3D foam embroidery!
1- let’s first sew regular flat Embroidery!
First, you have to start this process by sewing the regular flat Embroidery first; This applies to every 3D foam embroidery you will do.
2–Create a stop!
After completing the last flat regular embroidery part, create a stop in the embroidery machine.

Remove the foam gently. It should easily tear away with the properly digitized design.
Hurray! Your 3D Embroidery is completed!
Tips and tricks!
Here are some tips and tricks! You will find them valuable.
1- Choose the 3D foam embroidery design with a perforated border.
2- To make up space for the foam, try to create longer stitches.
3- Try to use the same color foam and threads to get more clean 3D Embroidery.
4- Use a heat gun and nippers to clean foam areas that didn’t tear well.
5-You can use tape to hold the foam in place.
