6-18 6. Embroidery Assistant Embroidery Puffy Embroidery Puffy is a structured foam (3 mm thick) resembling foam rubber, for underlaying; it lends embroidered designs a remarkably three-dimensional effect. Use an identical or similar color to the one being used to overstitch. • Use the Rose card No. 36. Make sure that the embroidery stitch you choose is a satin stitch design, as this is the only way to achieve the desired puffed threedimensional effect. Straight stitches destroy the puffed effect. • Hoop Adhesive-backed paper and stick the fabric on it. • Place the Puffy, which has to be cut a bit larger. onto the fabric, embroider the design and remove the excess Puffy. The needle perforates the fabric, which makes it easier to remove it after embroidering. Prisma 3-D film Prisma 3-D film is a padding material resembling a textile and consisting of a vinyl film and a transparent, printed PVC film which has a two-color iridescent effect. It lends the embroidery a shimmering, lively appearance. The Prisma 3D film itself has smooth edges and does not require overcasting. It is particularly suitable for appliqué work. • First remove the paper from the back side of the film. • Cut out the desired shape of the film and place it on a hooped piece of fabric. • Now embroider the selected appliqué design. • If you place the Prisma 3-D film onto a hooped piece of Filmoplast without fabric, it can be embroidered without a face fabric. It is therefore also suitable for labels. No after-treatment is required after embroidering.
