3D Foam is a specialised product used for creating raised, three-dimensional embroidered lettering and other design elements, especially popular on baseball caps.
The 3D effect is achieved by placing foam on the surface of the cap or garment and embroidering the design on top of the foam. The foam stays puffed up beneath the stitches, so this process produces a raised, or 3D, version of the design.
* When working with structured cap materials, achieving precise penetration without compromising the fabric is essential. We recommend the N287WKGOLD/080 sharp point size 80 needle, which is specifically suited for this purpose. Its design allows for smooth entry through dense or layered fabrics, resulting in consistent stitch quality and reduced wear on the material.
* When working with knit fabrics, we suggest using a standard ball point needle NDBXK5SES/075. Its rounded tip slides between the fabric’s loops instead of piercing them, which helps maintain the fabric’s stretch and prevents runs or holes.
