Puffy Foam

Puffy Foam

  • Do you recommend testing a design first?
  • What should I look for when testing designs for a Puffy Foam application?
  • What is the definition of Foam?
  • When would I use Puffy Foam?
  • Where would I use Puffy Foam?
  • Can any foam be used or only foam specifically designed for embroidery and why would I use Puffy Foam instead of other foam?
  • What should I look for when choosing designs? Can any design be used with foam or are there specific designs created for foam?
  • And just what is "planking" and "capping"?
  • Does it come in colors?
  • Does it come in different thicknesses?
  • Is it necessary to change machine tensions or density of a design to compensate for a foam topper?
  • What about working with foam directly on fabric versus a stabilizer for use as an applique? Are there any tips I need to know when working directly on the fabric?
  • What type of needles are best to use with foam? Sharp? Universal? Ballpoint? Should I be concerned with holes left in the foam made by the needle type?
  • What tips do you have for laundry care of an item that has foam stitched into the design? Washer and dryer or hang to dry?
  • Does the foam shrink when exposed to heat?
