My goodness,
3D foam on .5" lettering. And you're new to embroidery? I salute you!
In
our shop, 3D foam falls under the category of specialized embroidery and
costs more. There are limits too such as fonts, letter height, foam
thicknesses, garment locations,... Remember certain fonts with block edges
will need to be edited (capped) so as not to see foam protruding. Sometimes
digitizing fees apply. Zig zag (double) underlay. Column density around
2.5 - 3.0. Try to use a foam close to the color of the thread you are
using.
Practice, practice, practice!!!
Good luck.

Subject: [amayausers] 3D Foam Question
I need some help with 3D Foam application on Visors. Visor is 2 inches
tall and has a Brody Script one line design measuring ½ inch tall. I
have been playing with density and fabric thickness but I still see
little tiny raggedy pieces of foam showing on the outside of the column
stitches. I am using underlay; edge walk and a center walk to tack down
the foam. What density do you suggest for both the column and the
underlay? Any other suggestions??? I am a brand new embroiderer (since
November) any help is greatly appreciated.
