About this range
Puffy ist das 3 mm starke Volumenvlies von Sulky für plastische Stickeffekte. Es wird unter das Motiv gelegt und überstickt; Schriften, Konturen und Logos heben sich danach spürbar vom Stoff ab. Geliefert wird es als Bögen in Weiß und Schwarz.
Sewing tips
- Das Vlies unter das Motiv legen und mit dichten Satinstichen übersticken.
- Die Stickdatei muss für 3D-Puffy ausgelegt sein, sonst bleiben Ränder sichtbar.
- Überstehende Reste nach dem Sticken vorsichtig abziehen.
- Weiß unter helle Garne, Schwarz unter dunkle — an den Kanten blitzt sonst die Farbe durch.
- Für Caps, Hoodies und Taschen ist der Effekt am wirkungsvollsten.
Raised embroidery comes not from more thread but from height beneath the thread. Foam delivers exactly that height: it lies under the design, and dense satin stitches settle over it like a skin over a curve.
At 3 mm, Puffy is enough for strong effects on lettering, outlines and logos. What matters is that the design file is drawn for it: it needs denser stitches and a border that cuts the foam cleanly. Otherwise white edges stay visible.
You work from sheets rather than a roll — place a piece only under the area meant to stand out. Choose the colour to match the thread, so nothing alien flashes at the edges.
Frequently asked questions
Does the design file need to be special?
Yes. A file for 3D effects works with denser satin stitches and a border that severs the foam at the edge. An ordinary file leaves rims standing which can no longer be removed cleanly.
Which colour should I pick?
The one closest to the thread. A little foam always shows at the edges; with a matching colour nobody notices, while white foam under dark thread is obvious at once.
What suits this effect?
Lettering, logos and bold outlines, as known from caps and sportswear. It is unsuited to fine detail and solid designs, because the height swallows the drawing there.
