3D Foam

To make a design look of 3D appearance to embroidery we use the 3D foam. It will be placed under the area where the design will start in the 3D foam, a high stitch density to cut the foam to easily remove after that design will not show wrapped and through.

A

APPLIQUE

APPLIQUE, this word is taken from the French language, the meaning of this word is applying it is related to the decoration, trimming and cutting the piece of fabric and stitched to another piece to make its shape more dimensional and is also helpful to reduce stitch count.it is simply used for decoration of the garments. this technique will be done by both sources: hands or machines.
