Tips and Techniques for Using Sulky Puffy Foam in Digitizing Embroidery

Sulky Puffy Foam is a unique embroidery accessory that can add texture and dimension to your designs. Puff foam embroidery is one of the most popular embroidery digitizing. But how exactly does one use it?  In this article, we'll explore the steps involved in using Sulky Puffy Foam and provide some tips for achieving optimal results.

Firstly, it's important to select the appropriate stabilizer for your project. For example, if you're embroidering onto fleece, Sulky Soft 'n Sheer™ is an ideal choice. This cut-away stabilizer offers stability without adding bulk, making it perfect for use with Puffy Foam.

Once you've selected your stabilizer, it's time to attach the Puffy Foam to your fabric. We recommend using Sulky KK 2000™ Temporary Spray Adhesive, as it provides a strong hold without leaving any residue behind. Be sure to spray the adhesive onto the Puffy Foam rather than the fabric, as this will ensure that the foam remains in place throughout the embroidery digitizing process.

When it comes to stitching, the key is to use a dense stitch pattern that will help the foam really pop. We recommend using Sulky 40 wt Rayon thread in a bold color to achieve optimal results.    However, it's important to note that not all designs are suitable for use with Puffy Foam. For example, designs with intricate details or thin lines may not translate well when embroidered with Puffy Foam, while you will get a better quality if using flat embroidery.

Once the embroidery is complete, it's time to remove the excess foam. One of the benefits of using Sulky Puffy Foam is that it can be easily removed, leaving behind perfectly raised embroidery. For any small bits that may be left behind in tight spaces, we recommend using a stiletto to gently pick them out.

In addition to adding texture and dimension to your designs, Puffy Foam can also be a solution to a common problem when digitizing and sewing. Sometimes, small text or details in a design can get lost or distorted when embroidered onto certain fabrics. But by adding Puffy Foam to those areas, you can ensure that they stand out and remain legible.

In conclusion, Sulky Puffy Foam is a versatile embroidery accessory that can add depth and texture to your designs. By following these steps and experimenting with different designs and colors, you can create truly unique and eye-catching embroidery projects.
