Craft catalog / Decoration technique

3D Puff Embroidery

Embroidery raised over a padded base or built up in layers, so flowers, letters and motifs stand off the garment surface.

In-house process

Raised fabric flowers, ladybirds and butterflies stitched on a green and cream striped top

Specifying it

Before you choose this technique

Works well for

Logos, initials and decorative motifs where a dimensional, tactile effect is wanted on hoodies, sweatshirts, tops and dresses.

What to send us

Artwork, the intended height and effect, placement and size, the base fabric and thread colours.

Fabric and construction

Raised effects work best on bold shapes with rounded edges. Padding height and stitch density are tested on the actual garment fabric.

Good to know

Fine detail and sharp corners flatten out; wash behaviour is checked on the sample before bulk.
