Those who use breathable waders for fishing can attest to the adage that there
are two types of waders, those that leak and those that are about to leak. For
such things there is a product which is sold in fly shops and some larger
sporting goods stores called Aquaseal. It is used to seal leaky waders and
other such repairs. You simply apply a small amount to the leaky spot and
expose to ultraviolet light source such as sunlight which sets the material.
It is also packaged sometimes with a small UV pen light to use when exposure to
sunlight is not feasible.
While I have not used it for waterproofing embroidery, I would see no reason it
should not work. It is designed to remain flexible after drying/setting. Just
thought I'd toss out another option.
