Custom 3D Embroidery Will Add Dimension to Your Design
Custom embroidery has two innovative techniques that will add dimension to any design. These two very different applications have similar effects, but use different methods to achieve them. StylusApparel.com offers layered 3D embroidery and puff 3D embroidery to our customers who are looking to add dimension to their custom embroidery design.
Custom Layered 3D Embroidery
Layered 3D embroidery is achieved by doubling the stitch count on a design. This makes the design thicker, and raises the design up and away from the garments surface. The layered 3-D effect allows you to have greater detail than the Puff, however, very detailed designs work best with standard embroidery stitching.
This technique works best on thinner materials that will be washed regularly, such as oxfords, polos, and sweatshirts. For subtle 3-D effects try our new custom layered 3D embroidery.
Custom Puff 3D Embroidery
Puff 3D embroidery uses a foam underlining to achieve an extreme three dimensional effect. The foam comes in different widths and colors to accommodate an array of products and thread colors. This application also requires the thread count to double, so that the foam will not be exposed through the thread.
Puff 3D embroidery works best with block or large round shaped letters. Artwork for puff embroidery should have rounded corners so that the needle perforates the corners of the design and covers the foam completely.
Thick materials that will be washed periodically generally work best with this application, such as hats, bags, and thicker jackets. To really make your artwork stand out, use our puff 3D embroidery.

Understanding the Art of 3D Puff Embroidery
What is 3D Puff Embroidery?
3D puff embroidery is a technique that adds a three-dimensional effect to fabric, making designs pop out visually. This process uses foam or adhesive layers underneath stitches, creating raised patterns. Because of its unique appeal, it has become popular in fashion and promotional products. However, mastering this skill requires practice and attention to detail.
Why Choose 3D Puff Embroidery for Your Projects?
When you choose 3D puff embroidery, you're not just adding color and design—you're enhancing the tactile experience of your work. It makes logos and artwork more engaging, so they stand out from flat alternatives. And because it appeals to both children and adults, it’s perfect for gifts, uniforms, and accessories. But remember, selecting the right materials is crucial for achieving the best results.
Tips for Beginners Exploring 3D Puff Embroidery
If you're new to 3D puff embroidery, start with simple shapes and gradually move toward complex designs. You’ll need a good quality stabilizer and compatible thread types. So, invest in reliable equipment upfront. Also, don’t rush through each step, because patience ensures better outcomes. With time, you'll gain confidence and creativity in your projects.
