Some Important Tips to Get Started With 3D Machine Embroidery

• Digitizing is most important. You will need longer stitches to cover the space, foam is taking. We recommend using software like wilcom or any online embroidery machine digitizing services to make it easier for yourself. Again this is recommended to do some testing before proceeding with the final design.

• Check how to program stops in your software. You will be able to put a stop after a color change.

• Lay the foam over the design and use tape or sticky tack spray to hold it in place. Once the first stitches go through the foam, you don’t have to worry about it moving anymore.

• You have to outline the area of the foam first or let it to done by your online embroidery machine digitizing service. This outline will help create a ‘cut’ in the foam to easily pull it off.

• Now after that machine will stop and we can tear off the excess foam.

• Know machine has done its part.

• Once you are done with the design you can use nippers and then a heat gun to clean up any excess foam. Nippers are good for a piece that didn’t tear well. And heat gun is good for shrinking the foam into place and creating that tight and clean look.

• Foam works best on designs that have good underlay borders and satin stitches across the foam. Note: any design cannot be done in foam. For example, a heavy fill stitch over foam or too much underlay might not give the desired look.

• Use a sharp needle it will help you tear the foam with a clean cut. Be sure to use the backing you normally would on a design. The backing is important to give stability to this type of embroidery.
