Each 9\" x 12\" sheet is machine-washable, cut-to-size friendly, and intended to match thread shades closely so the finished piece looks clean even if some foam edges show around stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this foam produce a raised embroidery effect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam is placed directly under the stitched area so the needle penetrates the foam and fabric together, allowing the thread to compress and lock the foam inside the satin stitches. After stitching, gentle heat or steam reduces visible foam fibres so the embroidery appears neat and prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3mm thickness gives a noticeable but controlled puff without being overly bulky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSatin stitches lock the foam in place, preventing shifting or collapse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a hair dryer, heat gun, or steam iron post-stitching to shrink exposed foam slightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich fabrics and projects work best with 3mm puffy foam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 3mm foam works best on medium to heavyweight surfaces where the foam has support and won’t sag.
