TECHNIQUE OF EMBROIDERY
3-D: A stand-alone design created by stitching on a water soluble stabilizer,
that is stitched to the project after the embroidery is completed creating a 3-D
apperance.

3-D PUFFY FOAM: 3D foam (3D Puff) is a technique where foam is inserted
under the top stitch to raise the surface, giving a three-dimensional look to
your embroidery designs.The 3D foam effect is commonly used on garments
that don’t require much washing. Apparel like caps, jackets and other
outerwear are pieces that are best suited for this technique.
APPLIQUE: A 3 step embroidery design where fabric is abhered to stabilizer or
another piece of fabric during embroidery.

either remain free or are filled with a contrasted or matching fabric.
