We use the heat gun techinque, remember they run at 750 - 1000 degrees, so
don't treat it like a hair dryer. keep it moving and a good 3 or 4 inches from
the material, you will start to see the sticky-outs melt and bend that's when
you are almost done. After you can brush with a cloth to brush the frayed
pieces or canned air. Also use a toothpick to push against the bigger pieces
that are stubborn and they will push right back under the thread. it takes
practice and now you know why you price puffy foam close to double the normal
stuff. I've been to hat manufacturers that do in-house embroidery, and that is
how they were doing it.
It is time consuming but it works, and if you ruined a hat you can practice on
it with the heat gun, or run another sample on scrap fabric and practice there.
Good Luck, let us know if you come up with a better solution.
